[quote=Anonymous]OMG! Yes! It was called "Touch Math" right? Anyway, my mother claims that I could add and subtract just fine before I was introduced to this method in 2nd grade. After that, I became very dependent on touching out the dots with my pencil. It ultimately slowed down my arithmetic skills, which frustrated me and affected my motivation in math. I won't blame all of my math problems on touch math but I certainly don't think it did anything to strengthen my natural inclination to just add and subtract in my head. I learned it back in 1982, by the way. I really hope they aren't reintroducing it in schools now![/quote]
