[BlindMath] Geometry in a high school mainstream class

Greetings! 
Math curricula are constantly changing. Currently, the system in which I am employed uses a curriculum at the high school level that is entirely web based except for an enormous workbook which is available in Braille. 

I am seeking recommendations on how to manage classroom lecture situations. Teachers use a smart board and navigate examples available on the publisher’s website to present lessons and provide further examples. Classroom presentations are very fluid, they change from class to class based upon the questions asked by students and the teachers preference. Keeping this in mind, it is almost impossible to prepare examples of what will be presented to the class ahead of time for the blind students to access in braille during their geometry math class. The students in the geometry courses will have the assistance of a paraprofessional whose responsibility will be to provide the figures and equations as quickly as possible if they are not already available. 

Please, overload me with ideas on how the students may be provided accurate figures and equations in a timely manner that will support their interaction during the classroom instruction. 

Thank you, 
Janet
