[Blindmath] audio graphing calculator

[Wheatley, Richard]

Hi Maureen
I went to a specialist blind school in Worcester, England and we had stuff called german film that worked with a gell mat and a dead pen. I still use this for on the fly diagrams in my physics lectures at university level and while the diagrams aren't sterdy enough to keep for later reference, and they aren't very detailed, they surve a perpose of understanding the basics of what the lecturer is pointing at. They are also very quick to draw.
Best wishes
Richard

What is the best or easiest way to produce graphics? My student is starting a unit on rotations, etc of geometric shapes. Using the aph mat is good for instructional, but the classroom teacher is going to plow through the diagrams MUCH faster than I can set them up. I always feel like Lucille Ball when the candy conveyor belt got out of control.

I have microsoft paint, a tiger embosser, romeo, a PIAF, quick tac, excel, etc.

I have used wiki stixs, and aph graph paper, but these are difficult for a student to read, and the wiki stix don't travel in a backpack too well.

The worksheets I am given are pdf screen shots of used and re used worksheets, so to enlarge and PIAF is not an option, unless I can get them to look crisp.

Amber,

Yes to the Orion TI-84+ Talking Graphing Calculator, and as a senior in high school, you are still eligible to have your TVI order one from APH on federal quota money. Act quickly.

TI-84 Orion.  Pricey, but it is worth it, especially since you can use it all through college

Good morning,
At this time I am a senior in High school and I am getting ready for college. I know one thing I will be needing in college for math is an audio graphing calculator. as of right now I have only had to use one very little and the one I used was on the computer with JAWS, so I was wondering what audio graphing calculators would be the best? I was hoping to get a handheld one.

Thank you
