Chapter 2

I use touch math to help students with number sense. Each number has "touch Points" that the children use so that they have a visual.
When working with money--- a nickel has one touch point, a dime has 2 and a quarter has 5. The children draw the touch points on their paper and count by 5's. Gradually the visual representation is taken away.
