Gather the supplies you will need. Take advantage of the free training materials available from Touchmath.com. For 30 days you can view the training DVD, and use the complementary training materials that come with the DVD to practice teaching. Watch the free training videos available at Touchmath.com and pay specific attention to the sections that apply to the age group you are teaching. Keep the lesson age-appropriate, and start at the beginning with the most basic skills of learning how to use the touchpoints. Then it is time to try some math problems.
Touch and count the touchpoints. For the example problem 5+3, point and count all of the touchpoints on 5 and then on the number 3. To do this, count: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight while pointing to the touchpoint on each number.
Repeat the problem and answer. In our example, say out loud: "five plus three equals eight." According to a video demonstration on Touchmath.com, this repetition helps to "reinforce fact memorization by targeting 3 learning channels including visual, auditory and tactile kinesthetic." Addition concepts are easier for a classroom of students to grasp because the TouchMath method provides stimulus for all types of learners.
