My daughter did learn about it in her general education classroom. I taught it when I taught "regular Ed." It is not taught in the special Ed classrooms I work for

Don't assume because it's taught one way where you are that it's taught the same everywhere.

Yes, I know the program is used differently, I would never suggest otherwise (it was a response to those who were concerned about it as a program(. What I don't understand is the implication that number sense/place value excludes TouchMath? Perhaps I read that wrong, but you implied that TouchMath, a program, meant number sense or place value is not taught. What district would not teach such concepts? Or is this a case of subbing and not seeing past coursework?
