Wonderful thread here, some great commentary, information, and best practices being shared! For those who may be interested in learning more about the TouchMath Program and the multisensory TouchPoint approach, I would encourage you to take advantage of our free DVD Teacher Training loan program. The packet you receive contains free materials, a teacher training manual, and an informative DVD that details: Touching/Counting Patterns, addition, subtraction, skip counting, multiplication, and division using the TouchMath computation strategies.

The TouchMath Program is designed for children preschool-second grade and remedial students in grades 3-12. Although parents use the program for younger children, it is not designed for babies or toddlers under the age of 3. Many of the beginning concepts shown on the Jones Geniuses program are also available in the preschool TouchMath materials, however, they work best with children who are already able to engage in interactive manipulation such as handling and counting objects or coloring. The greatest single difference between the two programs in the area of early education  is TouchMath’s ability to relate quantities directly to numerals, a skill that will be crucial as students age. 

Research behind the program validates the multisensory approach and its effectiveness in engaging learners, boosting self confidence, and ultimately, raising test scores. TouchMath is the only program that uses the actual numeral as a manipulative, where students use numerals to see, say, hear, touch, and learn math concepts. The involvement of all senses levels the playing field by engaging all learning modalities.

I would encourage anyone interested to check out the free samples and other testimonials, videos, etc., on www.touchmath.com to see thoughts, ideas, strategies, and best practices shared by fellow educators. Our facebook page, http://www.facebook.com/pages/TouchMath/155919314866, also offers some great insight from those who have used the program with their children and students.

Thanks for all you do in inspiring young people to reach their academic potential!
