Writing Songs in GarageBand for Upper Elementary Math - One Best Thing
One of my passions as an educator is incorporating creativity in upper elementary math through technology. As a former 5th grade math teacher, I loved assessing my students' understanding by allowing them to write a song to teach the topic. GarageBand is the perfect tool for students to become true musicians! Through the use of Live Loops and Audio Recording, your students will bring their songs to life.
This resource will walk you through how to create a Live Loops song and add audio in GarageBand. This step-by-step guide can be shared with students as a reference as they use the tool. It also includes tips for content alignment, management, recording, and how to extend the activity.
Here is an example of a completed song to teach the steps of dividing fractions!
I hope this resource will provide support for you to find ways to incorporate GarageBand in your math classroom!
