## What is TouchMath Counting Basic?

TouchMath Counting Basic teaches single digit number values using the one-of-a-kind multisensory TouchMath system -- 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. 

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 baseballs, three ladybugs, three starfish or three TouchPoints.

WHAT WILL STUDENTS LEARN?
With TouchMath Adventures: Touching/Counting Patterns, students learn:
-- Numbers 0–9
-- Number Values
-- Touching/Counting Patterns
-- Placing TouchPoints

### 2/5 — The sound doesn’t seem to be working

*2021-03-11, version 2.01*

I’m so excited that there is an app for TouchPoint math and showing my toddler how to use it. I’m not sure why it has no sound, but if this was fixed I would be much much happier with the product!

### 2/5 — No practical usage included

*2020-12-08, version 2.01*

I was disappointed I paid for an app that literally only teaches a kid to tap on a number to count it. There was no teaching how to use this skill, not even an option to upgrade and pay for it.

### 5/5 — excellent product

*2014-11-23, version 1.1*

I love the TouchMath product it is easy to grasp for students, and a wonderful idea to help those that struggle with learning their math facts.  The TouchMath app is wonderful to help reinforce the touch points and help students increase math skills.

### 5/5 — My daughter enjoys it!

*2014-04-29, version 1.0.2*

We have had this program on our iPad for our daughter for six months.  She was two when we got it, and now at two-and-a-half, she still plays it.  I am anxiously waiting for the addition app, as I think she is ready for it.  Counting dots on the numbers will really make addition click for her, I think.

### 5/5 — The app I've been waiting for!

*2014-02-05, version 1.0.2*

I've been using TouchMath for years because the unique multisensory approach is so appealing and helpful to my students who have a hard time with math. The way they learn to count using TouchPoints is just amazing. To see their faces light up because they "get it" is something I will always love seeing. The TouchMath method is really tailor made for an app so I was so happy to see this! We love it and use it all the time - it's a great introduction to the program. Can't wait for the TouchMath Addition app!

### 1/5 — 99 cent rip off

*2014-01-29, version 1.0.2*

Don't pay for chapter two it is a rip off. There is nothing beyond it available and your child only does the numbers again without assistance. Waste of 99 cents.

### 3/5 — potential

*2013-10-30, version 1.0.1*

App has potential.With a few changes could be great!

### 3/5 — Okay with potential

*2013-10-25, version 1.0.1*

Hopefully it will get better with time. It would be nice if you could practice the same number over without having to go to the next number, chapter 2 placing touchpoints.

### 1/5 — Do not buy

*2013-10-13, version 1.0.1*

This app needs to stop making cute touch points and add actual math drills using the concepts in Touch Math.  Until then this app is useless

### 5/5 — Great App

*2013-09-25, version 1.0*

Wonderful introduction to Touch Math. Can't wait for the next chapter. Works smoothly and kids love it. Very little instruction needed, very kid friendly.
