The Touch’NSlide Calculator visually displays the underlying mathematics, giving users a visual and kinesthetic sense of what the arithmetic means.

Hear what users have to say about the Touch’NSlide Calculator for iPad:

“The students reaction has been overwhelmingly positive. What I have noticed and found to be quite interesting is that students catch their own mistakes. “
- Zach and Saif, middle school tutors, NJ

Designed for children ages 5-12, the Touch’N Slide Calculator is an iPad calculator that goes beyond what other calculators can do and teach by visually representing the meaning of the underlying arithmetic. Children interact kinesthetically with the display, moving up and down the number line as they perform calculations. Initial studies have shown that the calculator enhances children’s cognitive number sense and arithmetic intuition. Your child will not only learn how to perform arithmetic but actually understand how and why it works! An introduction Video to the Touch’N Slide Calculator and other resources are available at our Customer Support website, support.mathisasport.org.
