[Blindmath] suggestions for accessible 3d graphing paper giids

Fri Nov 22 13:40:59 UTC 2013

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!
