Touch Math

My Project

I am requesting TouchMath 3D Numbers, the Computation Set, and Student Number Cards to enhance my students' early numeracy skills. These resources will provide hands-on, multi-sensory learning experiences that help students grasp essential math concepts, such as number recognition, counting, addition, and subtraction. The raised TouchPoints on the numbers allow students to physically touch and count, making abstract concepts more concrete and easier to understand.

The Impact:These materials will particularly benefit my students with special learning needs, as they offer a structured and interactive approach to math.

By incorporating these tools into daily lessons, my students will build stronger number sense, improve computation skills, and gain confidence in their math abilities.

Your generosity will directly support young learners in developing a strong foundation in math, setting them up for future success. Thank you for considering our classroom project!
