The Company
For over 50 years, TouchMath has provided systematic and explicit multisensory math instruction grounded in the Science of Mathematics to measurably accelerate student achievement. Educators around the country have relied on TouchMath to effectively meet the diverse and unique needs of students with dyscalculia and those who struggle with math.
TouchMath is an explicit, multisensory math program for students who struggle with key foundational math skills and abstract concepts from preschool through transition. Available in digital and print, the TouchMath Solution empowers educational teams to assess,
teach, report, and positively impact students across all settings. The TouchMath Solution is the only explicit, multisensory math program that uses the numeral itself as a manipulative. Using TouchNumerals and TouchPoints with explicit and systematic math instruction lets
students see, touch, say, and hear math in a whole new way. The TouchMath approach brings the Concrete–Representational–Abstract– (CRA) continuum into practice, ensuring that students master concrete concepts before transitioning to representational and abstract thinking.
