Once you sign up, you’ll be taken to your Homeroom. Look for the Homeroom logo anytime you need to switch areas or change your user settings or profile.

From the Homeroom, you can choose the area of That’s Math! you’d like to head to. Currently there are four areas:

4. Choose a module.
Each area has five modules. These are roughly focused on various items or sub-areas inside the main area.
For example, the Bathroom has Tiles, Bottles, Lights, Towels and Shelves. The Outdoors has Garden, Furniture, Playground, Walkways and Yard.
Once you choose your area, click on the “Introduction” link of the module where you’d like to begin.

Work through the module with either the “Next” and “Previous” buttons or The Map at the bottom of each lesson.
6. Leave comments and photos.
That’s Math! is a learning community for parents – which means your participation is a huge part of the program.
At each step along the way, you can comment on where and how you SEE MATH, the words you use to SAY MATH and your experiences while you DO MATH with your children.
You can even insert photos of what you saw or how your children worked!
