[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For chrissake, sock puppet - STFU.

Are you trying to sell a DotMath curriculum or something?  You're feeble attempts at trying to look like 4 different people (or maybe 5 - I don't know, I learned DotMath) are silly, at best. [/quote]

I am fed up with people who have poor math skills that claim they are more qualified than I am on this topic.  I am fed up with people telling me dot math does damage to
a child's ability to do math when they have been teaching touch math and not dot math.   I am not 4 different people nor do I try to be.    I will counter every claim against dot math when these people teach touch math and not dot math.  It is clear to me that you do not understand this topic at all or you would not be asking if DotMath is a
curriculum.  It is not a curriculum- it is a resource material to help explain the concepts in the curriculum that is used.   If you had been to the site and read the cover of the
The Fun Book you would see Resource Material on it.  
  
      One of the very best math programs is Cognitive Instruction in Mathematical Modeling or CIMM.   type   ENTER THE DOTS  into the Google search box to find a
great system that works.   ENTER THE DOTS  by Rob MacDuff, phd - explains groups of dots and how to associate the groups to numbers.
Now you will claim that I am here to sell the CIMM curriculum.     I found them on the internet just like any one else can.  I agree with their concepts because they will not do any harm to a child's math skills.  By now you should understand this is not about selling a program it is about  being sure that you are not doing harm to a child's ability to do math.[/quote]
