Touch Math
By first grade teacher

Clip to ScrapBook   
Touch Math is a program where each student learns how to touch the numbers one through nine with their pencil. They count forward and backwards touching each number at specific points. Each number has that many touch points. The number eight has eight touch points for an example.. Today I showed the class how to subtract using touch points. They cross out the greater number, say its name and count backwards on the smaller number. To add, they cross out the greater number, say its name and count forward on the other number. To begin with touch math they must learn the touch points for each number first.
