This is a great tool for the classroom!

Touch math is a great learning tool for students who need a multi-sensory approach to math. Use the following guide as you introduce this concept to your class:;

1. Numbers 1 through 5 only have single touch points.
2. Numbers 6 through 9 have double touch points.

The concept is for students to count each touch point and then associate these with real values. By associating numbers with real values, students are picking up a valuable lesson. This is a great usage of auditory, visual, and tactile levels of teaching!

Print this as a handout and hang in your classroom for reference!
