Great to differentiate with in a diverse class. You can cover counting to division and more.]]> 2017-05-07 16:07:07 UTC https://padlet.com/seanchorney/Touchcounts/wish/170369765 https://padlet.com/seanchorney/Touchcounts/wish/170369770 I like; the reinforcement of subitization with fingers along with the circles, the ability to combine numbers and separate a numbers. I noticed that order of numbers is not enforced with the location the number circles end up, and the fact that they can't be rearranged after the fact, students can show various ways of obtaining number enforcing computational fluency

It really reinforces the idea of skip counting
and yay for french!!! I could definitely use that for Grade 6/7s learning numbers

I like how you can join and split numbers in the operations part - when you join the numbers, they join within the circle, but stay in the colour of their component parts so you can see the two addends within the sum.

I thought it was very interactive and with some creativity you are able to make it applicable for most ages.

A little bit of a learning curve with the subtraction...although the kids would probably get it quickly

Boooooo
I like that the sum gets larger as it swells with more counters, but why do the counters get smaller? Hmmm
