Same As It Ever Was

In this lesson, students play the game: Same As It Ever Was, a game where they make rhythms the same. This lesson can function as a precursor to compare problems: find the difference between two quantities and adjust their lengths to be the same. The adjustment is the difference. Students can add squares to their rhythm; they can take away squares, but they can not redistribute squares between the rhythms (that will wait for another game.)
