R.C. 5.9 Mathematics (Mobile Infant)
Activity: “Stack Them Up”
Materials: Stacking blocks, nesting cups, measuring cups Infants are continually growing in all areas of development. In this activity, the goal is to get the infant to stack their blocks or cups. The teacher would have the child sit on the floor or at a table with their toys. She would show the infant how to stack them up. Then she would allow him/her to do it themselves. She would use encouraging words like “You’re doing a great job!” or “Look at how high they are!”. She would help the child count the toys as they are stacked. Infants at this age are starting to develop an interest in characteristics of objects such as their size and quality. “Stack Them Up” is an exemplary activity
