Touching/ Counting Patterns - Touch math Adventures || I have used this app with students with Autism in my class. For me this is not a stand alone app. Typically, I use it in conjunction with flashcards and manipulatives. I use this app to help my students to generalize the motor patterns in a new environment.

There are two chapters within the app Chapter 1 is errorless learning. There is a short 'movie' to show how to count to each number and after the 'movie' you then get a chance to practice those skills by touching the dots in the correct order. Chapter 2 is about placing touch dots in the correct order.

In the Pro Version, there are no in-app purchases (the App Store will tell you there is). All the TouchPoint Packs are included with the app. My students do enjoy choosing what theme they want to use each time.

Up to 100 || I have used this app with students with Autism in my classroom. I bought the wood number manipulatives that go with this app. With the manipulatives, I was able to unlock the lite version of the app for free.

I used this app in a few different ways: - I would tell my student a number and he would then need to "stamp" that number on the iPad with the manipulatives - I would get him to tell me a number and then have him 'stamp' it - I would let him experiment with numbers - I would get him to read the number word that was on the bottom. My only critique of the app is that the words are in a form of cursive that my students find hard to read.
