HEY,

Can you guys tell me where I an get Braille Graph Paper??!!??
I am GOING to need some!
OMG!! WHO KNEW!
I'd like vendor and/or item # if possible

Also, are there good how-to's on using what my district calls "Patty Paper" or semi-transparent wax paper for doing geometric constructions?
Are there other / better blind ways to do constructions?

: 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!
