Counting is the KEYCounting is the Key.
❏ Computations are easier using TouchMath because all basic operations
are based on counting.
❏ In TouchMath addition, students count forward.
❏ In subtraction, they count backward.
❏ In multiplication and division, they count in sequences.
❏ Students touch, count and repeat each problem and answer aloud to
reinforce fact mastery. http://www.touchmath.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=about.how
