Digit Dots - Addition

Features Digit Dots - Addition

Digit Dots - Addition was developed by a special education elementary teacher to teach basic addition skills to kids in preschool through 2nd grade.Students learn the position of dots and lines (forming an 'X') on each digit.
The number of marks on each digit corresponds to the value of the digit.
To add two digits together, students just count the marks on each digit to find the sum.
In 'Learn' mode, students learn the placement of the dots and lines on the digits.
In 'Practice' mode, students have to remember where the dots and lines are located.
In 'Addition Quiz' mode, student get to apply what they have learned to answer ten addition problems.
HOW DOES DIGIT DOTS COMPARE TO TOUCHMATH / TOUCHPOINTS?Digit Dots has improvements over TouchMath / Touch Points.
One improvement is the use of an 'X' to indicate a spot to count twice instead of a circle with a line around it.
The 'X' is much easier for young students to write, especially students with low fine-motor skills.
Another improvement is the position of the dots on the digit 'four'.
Compared to the other system, the position of the Digit Dots on a 'four' make it easier for students to place on different types of 'fours'.
