different patterns. The lesson will use one to seven patterns for the students to fully master counting
using music.

The teacher will continue to play the song as students identify the pattern. It is noteworthy that the
pattern is the musical part. The lesson will start with simple to complex patterns. Complex activities will
demonstrate masterly of counting.

Assessment

Fluency with counting could be determined by using faster or slower beats.
