Rhythm Fractions Foldables

Got this picture from Pinterest, but this is how I incorporated it into teaching my students beats and rhythm. These will help students better understand the relationships between the different notes.

We took two pieces of construction paper and folded them to make four tabs. Then I went around and stapled the top that folded over.

This is what the foldable looks like without flipping anything up.















We didn't write anything under the Rhythm Fractions flap (purple).

Above the 1 (yellow) we wrote 1 Whole Note=2 Half Notes
                                                1 Whole Note=4 Quarter Notes
Above the 1/2 (yellow) we wrote 2 Half Notes=1 Whole Note
                                                   1 Half Note=2 Quarter Notes
Above the 1/4 (purple) we wrote 4 Quarter Notes=1 Whole Note
                                                    2 Quarter Notes=1 Half Note

THERE'S ANOTHER WAY TO DO THIS

This is what the foldable looks like without flipping anything up.














We didn't write anything under the Rhythm Beats flap (purple)

Above the first row of numbers (yellow) we wrote: Whole Note=4 Beats
Above the second row of numbers (yellow) we wrote: Half Note=2 Beats
Above the third row of numbers (purple) we wrote: Quarter Note=2 Beat
