[Blindmath] formatting number lines

[John Gardner]

I have no idea what the official answer to your question is, but I would
much rather have a number line that is a numbr line.  Why add to cognitive
problems by splitting an entity into more than one when it's not necessary?
I'd suggest that you put it in landscape and continue it on other pages if
necessary.  If you have tractor paper, just keep the pages together -
otherwise tape them together.

Subject: [Blindmath] formatting number lines

Sorry, this may be a bit off topic, but I need help. My student is learning
integers, and the teacher will be using number lines to introduce them. 

I have the APH number line, so that it can be used and re-used, but how will
we do the number lines for a braille worksheet?

The number lines are too long for one braille line, so do we do the line on
paper that is turned 'landscape' style, or do we continue the number line on
the next  line? My inclination it to continue the number line on the second
line. If so, what are the labels I should use to indicate the line
continues? Thanks, 

Suggestions, please.M
