Music Fraction Bars

"There is geometry in the humming of the strings, there is music in the spacing of the spheres." — Pythagoras

Though mathematics and #musictheory are not taught together, they share remarkable similarities. Counting, rhythm, patterns and symmetry... All highlight the mathematical magic of music.

Some kids might get music better but struggle in math, whereas for some math is easy but music is alien. By mixing one with another and showing the underlying similarities, we can understand both better. This fraction strips of musical notes does exactly that. They highlight how fraction works using musical notes. They show how each note has a fractional value.
