ABOUT TOUCHMATH ADDITION 
Mastering critical math concepts becomes easier and more meaningful for students using TouchMath because all basic operations are based on counting. With addition, students count forward — and no matter their age or skill level, will be able to correctly add problems as high as they can count. With TouchPoints guiding students through the addition steps, students quickly see the connection between the numeral and its value, and guesswork is completely eliminated.

ABOUT TOUCHPOINTS
The one-of-a-kind TouchPoint system provides the base for the TouchMath Program –– the ONLY math program that uses the actual numeral as a manipulative. Each numeral from 1 through 9 has TouchPoints corresponding to the digit's value. 

- Numerals 1 through 5 have single TouchPoints
- Numerals 6 through 9 have double TouchPoints
- As students count the TouchPoints, they associate numerals with real values. They learn that a numeral (3, for instance) is not just a squiggle on a page. It represents a quantity such as three apples, three ladybugs, three buttons or three TouchPoints.

WHAT IS TOUCHMATH?

### 5/5 — Jungle Addition

*2014-11-23, version 1.0*

What a wonderful product that is free.  Although this is a lite version, it is wonderful as a beginning springboard for students learning Touch math, and starting to add with the touch points.  I am so pleased that there is a free version that my students may use at home. I HOPE that the full version price will go down so more students may be able to access it.
