Addition and Subtraction to 12



 

We will be introducing the Touch Point Math system (up to 5) to your child.  Beside is an diagram of the numbers and where the touch points on each number go.  Please go through this with your child.  I have taught them when they are adding, they circle the largest number, say that number in their head, and the touch or draw the touch points on the next number(s) as they COUNT ON by ones.  I hope this has helped you to see what your child has will be learning. 

N.B. There is a specific place for each touch point, so if you try to work with your child and put touch points in different places on the numbers, your child will be confused.
