My Project

Kindergarten is a critical time for developing strong number sense and a positive attitude toward math. To help my students build confidence and foundational skills, I am requesting the TouchMath Kindergarten Print Classroom Solution with Manipulatives.

TouchMath is a proven multisensory program that helps young learners understand math through touch points, visuals, and hands-on activities.

This complete solution includes:

Kindergarten Print Curriculum: Aligned with core standards, this curriculum breaks down essential math skills into clear, developmentally appropriate steps for early learners.

Manipulatives: These tactile tools allow students to physically interact with numbers and quantities, reinforcing abstract concepts through hands-on practice.

This program supports a wide range of learners—including those with learning differences or those who need extra support—by making math concrete, engaging, and accessible. With TouchMath, my students will learn by seeing, touching, and doing, which leads to deeper understanding and long-term retention.

With your support, I can give my students the tools they need to build strong math foundations and become confident, capable learners from the very beginning of their academic journey.

Thank you for helping bring this incredible resource into our classroom!
