The musical plane II
Designed and produced by the Spanish CoI
This c-unit has been designed by a team of Secondary School teachers of Mathematics and Music, together with education researchers. The main mathematical content addressed is the study of the line and piecewise-defined linear functions, its elements and a variety of their representations. This content is related to music, representing points in a musical plane and analyzing the influence of the elements of a line on its musical representation. The c-unit Musical Plane is structured in three parts:
- The main objective of part 1 is to get used to the musical plane and to find out its structure. There is an analogy between the Cartesian plane and the musical plane.
- The second part focuses on the understanding of a line with multiple representations such as the ones offered by the musical plane, the Cartesian plane or its algebraic representation.
- The third part introduces different patterns one can find in a melody and its mathematical representation. Different piecewise-defined functions are studied and listened
