 PRE-K INFORMATION 
Why Teach TouchMath to Preschoolers?
Imagine having math materials that engage your animated preschoolers and help them stay focused – materials that spark their curiosity and help you nurture their self-confidence.

Join the new breed of pre-K teachers who know their 3- to 5-year-old students are ready to learn basic math concepts. Bring TouchMath into your classroom! As pre-K classrooms evolve into the "new kindergarten," TouchMath materials combine play and academics to introduce your students to the world of numbers.

Pre-K kids are ready.
"They have the brain power — why not use it?" comments Colorado pre-K teacher Michelle Bowers, who has been using the TouchMath Pre-K Kit with her students since its introduction in January 2008. "TouchMath materials start out relatively slowly and progress sequentially in easy steps. There are so many fun activities my kids can do successfully. They pat themselves on the back when they learn something new. They have a pure joy of learning. Pre-K kids are ready. Let's challenge them!"

  Pre-K kids need pre-K materials.
Gone are the days of adapting kindergarten materials for preschoolers. Our pre-K materials are specifically tailored to correspond to the motor, cognitive and developmental abilities of children 3-5 years old. Our workmat format doesn't require writing, but it offers a simple paper-and-pencil approach for those children who are ready.

Multisensory makes sense.
Children learn most effectively when all of their senses are involved. As they see, say, hear and touch using our signature TouchPoints, they begin to associate numerals with real values. They learn that a numeral (5, for instance) is not just a scribble on a page. It represents a quantity such as five apples, five flowers, five frogs or five TouchPoints.

They learn step-by-step.
Our sequential strategy gives students the scaffolding they need to be successful every step of the way. Once children understand the Touching/Counting Patterns, they can answer simple math problems easily and correctly. In no time at all, they build self-confidence and progress to more advanced concepts.

    Using pictorial objects and our trademarked TouchPoints, we teach young children to associate numerals with real values (number quantities).
