Another thing, is your article available in an accessible format?

find my article on using the Braillewriter  in arithmetic at
www.tsbvi.edu
and then search for Kapperman and look for an article written by me 
entitled Using the Braillewriter as a Calculation tool

Hello, I am having a very difficult time figuring out how best to 
teach my 3rd grader math using the nemeth code.  He is at about the 
2nd grade math level.  He is able to set up and add and subtract 
simple problems on the brailler.  My problem is once he starts 
borrowing and carrying it becomes so hard with all the Nemeth 
signs.  I am thinking of using the abacus, but as I am learning how 
to use it for indirect borrowing, it seems very complicated and I am 
not sure my little guy can handle that concept.  He has VERY limited 
vision, so I don't want to use a CCTV. Any suggestions?
