In this video you will learn about TouchMath and how it is used to provide support to students who are in need of intervention and/or direct services.
This video shows what touchpoints are and how to use them within the classroom settng.
Students use the touch points to add digits. Students by this point, know the touch points and can use them in context of a math addition problem.
These are concrete examples that students can use when working with touchpoints.
Example IEP goals for touchpoints.
Given direct and explicit instruction in addition, STUDENT NAME will use touchpoints to solve single digit by single digit addition computations with 80% accuracy as measured by work samples and assessments.
Given direct and explicit instruction in addtion, STUDENT NAME will use touchpoints to solve 2 digit by 2 digit addition computations with 80% accuracy as measured by work samples and assessments.
Given direc and explicit instruction in multiplication, STUDENT NAME will use touchpoints to solve multiplication computations by 1s,2s, and 5s with 80% accuracy as measured by work samples and assessments.
Same touchpoints, different skill. In this video students use touchpoints to subtract.
TouchMath for multiplication changes up the representations of the touchpoints. Students learn how to skip count using touchpoints.
In this video, you will see the benefits of TouchMath and the learners it helps!

"Bridges Intervention was written to address key numeracy and computation skills and concepts for each grade level, K–5. Specifically, Bridges Intervention deals with those clusters identified as major within the following domains: Counting & Cardinality (K), Operations & Algebraic Thinking (K–4), Number & Operations in Base Ten (K–5), and Number & Operations: Fractions (3–5)".
"Number Frames help students structure numbers to 5, 10, 20, and 100. Students use the frames to count, represent, compare, and compute with numbers in a particular range".
"Number Line helps students visualize number sequences and illustrate strategies for counting, comparing, adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing. Choose number lines labelled with whole numbers, fractions, decimals".
"The Whiteboard App is a digital workspace for teachers and students to solve problems and explain their thinking. Math concepts can be explored in a variety of ways using a flexible set of tools to sketch, write, and build equations".
"Number Pieces helps students develop a deeper understanding of place value while building their computation skills with multi-digit numbers. Students use the pieces to represent multi-digit numbers, regroup, add, subtract, multiply, and divide".
This volume focuses on the skills and concepts needed to fluently add and subtract within 5, 10, and 20. More specifically, the collection of resources offered in this volume can be used to provide intervention for students who are struggling with one of more of the following:
Representing addition and subtraction with objects, drawings, verbal explanations, expressions, and equations
Structuring 5 and 10
Counting on to add and counting back to subtract
Developing and using strategies (other than counting on and counting back) to add and subtract within 5, 10, or 20
Fluently adding and subtracting with sums and minuends to 5, 10, or 20
Understanding and applying the commutative and associative properties of addition
Solving subtraction by finding an unknown addend
Solving for the unknown in addition and subtraction equations

The eight modules in this volume focus on the skills and concepts needed to count, read, write, compare, and understand numbers to 5, 10, 20, 120, and 1,000. More specifically, the collection of resources offered in this volume can be used to provide intervention for students who are struggling with one or more of the following:
Counting forward and backward by 1s to 5, 10, 20, 100, 120, or 1,000 starting from any number within the range
Counting up to 20 objects with one-to-one correspondence
Reading and writing numerals to 5, 10, 20, 120, or 1,000
Comparing quantities to 10, 100, or 1,000; using >, =, and < symbols to record comparisons
Structuring 5 and 10
Composing and decomposing numbers from 11 to 19 into 10 ones and some more
Skip-counting by 10s and 100s within 1,000
Understanding the place value structure of 2- or 3-digit numbers
Mentally finding 10 more or 10 less than any 2-digit number without having to count
Mentally adding or subtracting 10 or 100 to or from a given number 100–900
This volume focuses on the place value skills and concepts needed to add and subtract multi-digit numbers with understanding and fluency. More specifically, the collection of resources offered in this volume can be used to provide intervention for students struggling with one of more of the following:
Reading, writing, comparing, and understanding 2- and 3-digit numbers
Grouping and counting objects by 10s and 1s, or by 100s, 10s, and 1s
Counting forward and backward by 10s on and off the decade (200, 210, 220, 230, and so on; 204, 214, 224, 234, and so on)
Counting forward and backward by 100s on and off the century (100, 200, 300, and so on; 112, 212, 312, and so on)
Mentally adding or subtracting 10 or 100 from any number in the range of 100–900
