[Blindmath] suggestions for accessible 3d graphing paper giids

Sun Dec 1 06:15:26 UTC 2013

No, Lauren,

3-D graphing is a 2-d representation of a 3-D object.
The gridlines are actually Triangles so that you  can perceive 3-Dimentions.
It may not be something never-sighted people can relate to, and only 
junior-high students may have experienced...

If this student has any vision, I'm sure large, heavy weighted  might 
suffice.
If totally blind, that will be a challenge... regardless of experience.
3-d Graphing takes some real attention to focus & detail...
( Of course, that's my opinion... )
I am curious to see what and how this develops!

Ian

:I find that my student also has the most success with the 3D graph board
: from APH. It is rubberized, so we have purchased several different shapes
: and sizes of push pins to allow her to distinguish between different
: lines. We have placed a pin in the middle of the board and then used 
rubber
: bands to create the x and y axis. I hope this is helpful!
