These are "easy-to-use math teaching aids for blind, low vision, and learning disabled students".
Tiles are used on a tray to set up a problem the same way that a fully sighted student would set up a problem on paper. The tiles have both Nemeth Braille for the blind student and printed numerals for the sighted instructor.
I just learned about this program. My low vision high school son uses a video magnifier and a computer program for his math, so I probably won't look into this for him at this point. But I wanted to share this because it looks to me like a wonderful resource! I would have liked to have had this when my son was younger. It looks like it can grow with the student, too, from early grades all the way through Algebra.
