[blindkid] Nemeth & Word Problems

[Wendy Molle]

Hi!
    We have been having a discussion around here about whether numbers listed in a word problem should be in Nemeth numbers or Braille numbers. The word problems are on Math papers, but are in the form of paragraphs.  For example, "Farmer Smith wants to fence in his garden to keep out the rabbits.  He wants to have the largest possible area for his garden, but he only has 156 feet of fencing.  What is the best shape and dimensions for his garden?"
 
What do you think?
 
Thanks,
