Math tests
Any music will affect the concentration in different way.
Rap music, Oriental music and silence will be the best sounds to help raise the concentration.
Party music, Muezzin and Rock music will disturb the students, and interrupt the concentration of the students.
40 copies of 6 different questionnaires, loudspeakers, average students of the class, source of music and noise with the necessary music files, audio cables and solution of every questionnaire.
Additions
Brainstorm -
category
Our suggestions to implement the concludes, is to teach teens while they are listen to rap music, so they learn better and concentrate more.
experiment
Environmental pollution
We will recommend the combination of music and learning not just because we prefer it, but because of the experiment results.
Does music affect other skills?
Target aiming
Health infection
Does deaf people concentrate better than hearing people?
Sleeping experiments
How does sound and music affect the solution and the way to get to the answer of mathematical problems, among teens?

Scientific Background
Wide Information
White Noise
White noise is a random signal (or process) with a flat power spectral density.
Sonic Boom
Hearing Impairment
A sonic boom is the sound associated with the shock waves created by an object traveling through the air faster than the speed of sound.
Hearing impairment is the difficulty of people to hear.
The difficulty could be expressed by inability to hear from some frequencies or volume.
Second step
Check all the forms, by all the students, and count the number of the correct answers, and the number of the right way to solve the problems.
Volume
The volume of sound and music is measured by Decibel (dB).
Hearing Terms
The hearing rage of healthy people is between 0dB-140dB. The sounds above the 140dB are hurting the ear, and start to make serious damage.
Third step
Frequency
Frequency is the number of occurrences of a repeating event per unit of time.
Frequency is measured by Hertz units (Hz units).
Healthy people can hear in the rage between 20Hz-20,000Hz.
Set the results of the tests in charts, and phrase conclusion.
The chart has 3 columns: number of correct answers and number of right way to solution of any form.
First step
Noise - What is it?
A noise is a sound.
The sound is actually waves that moves in the air.
The air waves are reaches to the ears of organisms and living things, and processed by the brain.
Results
Distribution 1st form, under quiet.
Distribution 2nd form, with 1st sort of music.
Distribution 3rd form, with 2nd sort of music, and so on, until the students solve the 6th form.

Necessary Equipment
Music effects math skills.
Rap music is the best music to raise the concentration.
Rock music and Party music has a bad effect on the math skills, and they are unhelpful for concentration.
