[blindkid] Fwd: [LCA] math question

[Susie]

My son is in 5th grade & has had a braillenote for a year & he's had his share of struggles with math. He actually has to work out the math problems on the Braille writer & they have just recently got him the Math Window Tile Pallet to see if that would help him understand the steps that need to be taken. I haven't heard other wise but my understanding is that you can't do math problems on the braillenote.
Hope this helps.
