TouchMath Basics

Leading multisensory teaching and learning program, validated by research and benchmarks.

Use the same pattern consistently. “I touch and count all the Touchpoints on the numbers”, so for 5+4,
you count 1 2 3 4 5 and then move on to 6 7 8 9, and then record the answer. Repeat the problem and
answer aloud!

I touch the greater number, say its name, and continue counting on the Touchpoints of the other
numbers. Repeat the problem and answer aloud! Greater number may not have touchpoints to help with
identification without them.

Ones column, then the Tens column, going from greater number and adding on.

“I must regroup if my answer is greater than 9”.

When counting backward, work on one number at a time until they are proficient with counting
backwards from that number.

“If I cannot count all the Touchpoints, I must regroup”. Borrow a Ten from the Tens column, rewriting
the Tens, and subtract from the start.

Teach one sequence of skip counting at a time. 5= 5, 5+5= 10, 5+5+5= 15, etc.

“I skip count by one number while touching the TouchPoints on the other number”. 6 x 2 = 12 because
there are two TouchPoints, 6 12.

“I must regroup if my answer is greater than 9”. Write the Tens, then write the Ones. Continue the
multiplication, and add the regroup at the end.

“I skip count by the divisor and get as close to the dividend as possible without going over the
dividend”. Skip count and tally, then count the tallies.

“Then I continue counting by one up to the dividend.” To find the remainder, continue counting by
ones and place a dot for each number.
