[Blindmath] Your opportunity to influence the accessibility ofacollege math course

[Amanda Lacy]

When I try to use table commands in JAWS to move through the matrices I 
posted yesterday, JAWS says "not in a table." NVDA doesn't anounce that this 
is a table but seems to treat this as three tables each containing three 
rows and one element on each row.
