2. The Sounds of Mathematics

3. Motivation Help students understand mathematical patterns Help students develop numeric, symbolic, functional and spatial concepts Provide students experiences where they can connect classroom learning to life experiences Enable students to construct knowledge of mathematics through exploration of ideas Foster positive student attitudes.

4. Building Music Mathematically involves spatial-temporal reasoning – the ability to visualize patterns, come to solutions and understand multi-stop problems.

5. Music is one of the most widely-acknowledged uses of spatial-temporal reasoning. Individuals who write music often visualize notes as a large puzzle, fitting different fractions of notes and rests together to create a whole piece of music.

6. Using Mathematics to Map Numbers to Musical Notes Understanding of number bases. Understanding of modulo math. The ascii code Functions or equations

7. Tools Number bases. Modulo math. The ascii code Functions Symmetry properties Fractals

8. Using the Ascii Code Find the decimal representation of the letters of your name C = 67 y = 121 n = 110 t = 116 h = 104 i = 105 a = 97

9. Choose a key “Key of C” C D E F G A B Since I’m not teaching music or music theory, I like to keep this part simple. We want to map numbers into notes, beats, or chords.

12. Convert Your Name to Mod 8 C = 67 67 ≡ 3 mod(8) → G y = 121 121 ≡ 1 mod(8) → F n = 110 110 ≡ 6 mod(8) → E t = 116 116 ≡ 4 mod(8) → D h = 104 104 ≡ 0 mod(8) → F i = 105 105 ≡ 1 mod(8) → F a = 97 97 ≡ 1 mod(8) → F
