[Blindmath] graphing inequalities

[Lewicki, Maureen]

I Have a student who is going to have to graph inequalities. I am thinking the best approach is to have her graph them using the APH graphic aid, push pins for dotted lines, rubber bands for solid lines, and I am thinking that to for the student to show the areas, I can have her use Wiki sticks in one direction for one equation and wiki sticks in another direction for the other.

In terms of her handing in this work  I have been showing her how to photograph the graph, but this is not so fail safe. The graph is usually too far away for the teacher to see the details, and the student has no idea if the photo will make sense.

Any suggestions? No calculators permitted at this point. The second part of this issue is convincing the classroom teacher that it will work!
