Thanks Bente! I like your portable idea. The graphic aide is indeed big!

Maureen,

If your student doesn't have the money to purchase this or needs something more portable there is another option.  I took a piece of braille graph paper that had the 4 quadrants and taped it around the edges on to a cork tile that I got at an office supply place.  I was able to give the students pins and yarn and rubber bands and they had a portable graphing board that they could stick in their backpack and take to class.  When the braille paper got too many holes in it from use, we just taped on a new piece.  Going back to your inequality question you could use yarn between pins for the solid lines and a series of pins for the dashed lines.  They could use the yarn at first as a guide to make sure the pins are placed correctly and then remove the yarn.

This will put a smile on Sue O's face, who is on this list I believe. The series of videos is a great on, thanks Sue! I was able to send it to the math teacher. Since it came from another,math teacher, it was well received.

We live in a visual world, so I know my students will always have to prove they know what they understand in visual formats, or at least will most often have to. At least the graphic aid from APH allows them to plot points and lines in a similar way to the sighted peers.

Thanks, all!
