[Blindmath] formatting number lines

[Lewicki, Maureen]

Good point, but does anyone know how to turn the page to landscape in Duxbury? It does not seem to be an option, but if it is, it is not listed as landscape per say.

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.

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
