This excerpt comes from one of the Infant math lessons called “Diaper Time: On/Off”.

Young infants understand OFF and ON though routines.  The daily routine of diapering is a great time to practice OFF and ON.  Before you pick the infant up to place her on the changing table, say or sing “(Child’s name) time for a fresh diaper” hold your arms out toward the infant and touch her hands, encouraging the infant to reach for you.  As you place the infant on the changing table say “(child’s name) is ON the changing table.”  As you remove the diaper say, “diaper is OFF.”  As you fasten the diaper say “diaper is ON.”   Hold your arms out toward the infant and touch her hands, encouraging the infant to reach for you.  As you pick the infant up, say “(child’s name) is OFF” of the changing table.”

The Home Page has a navigation bar along the top that links to the various areas of the site (these are in small green boxes).  The first one on the left says “Site Home“.  From there moving across the page you can find out information about this project by clicking on About M.A.T.H.  The next area is called Increase Your Knowledge which we will look at more closely next week. The Set up Your Environment area is still under construction but I will let you know when it is ready to go.

Find a Math Lesson is the next area which we will be exploring in a couple weeks time, but is filled with great lessons that you can investigate and begin to use.  Math Resources is divided into links and standards all connected to math learning.  Finally, on the far right you will see the link to this blog. In addition, there are four colorful boxes in the center of the page that also serve as links to the different areas of the site.

We are hoping to get some traffic moving through the site… What do you think?
