[Blindmath] Creating graph and charts

[Ken Perry]

Another method is to go to a craft store and get felt and Velcro.  You would
be amazed the cool layouts you can make and each block can be labeled with
text and Braille and for that matter once your done you can roll it up and
bring it to school.  Its actually something that sited teachers have liked
in the past that I have worked with.  For example I have used different
kinds of fabric and vinal and pfake leather.  That Velcro and a large piece
of felt can makequite a good bar chart, flow chart, or what ever type of
chart you want.  If you take your time its something that can be really nice
for both blind and sited.

The line graphs would be fine on the APH Graph Board, but the histograms and
bar graphs are probably better done on graph paper (already have your
built-in bars) using the various techniques we've already talked about. If
you want to go high tech, perhaps Excel with a Tiger to emboss your
graphics? Others chime in here.

Creative! Thanks! that will be good for some things. She is making
histograms, bar graphs, and line graphs.

rubber bands to graph the lines.  Just mark the origin with something on the
tip so she can orient herself.  Much cheaper than what I have seen in VI
catalogs and you might be able to find one at your local school supply
store.  You will need to probably get the special rubber bands because they
will be long enough to do lines.  If she is graping points use a small
washer from the hardware store that she can drop over the point.  Cheap and
easy :)
