    For example, 1 has one touch point.

    How do you use Touch points? When adding more than one digit, always start with the greater number. Then touch and count the points on the additional numbers.

    For example: 5 + 3. Start at 5 then add 3 by touching each point on the 3 and counting up 6, 7, 8.
