[BlindMath] Math Speak

[Elizabeth Mohnke]

Hello Mary,

I found tactile graphics and a talking graphing calculator to be helpful for my introductory statistics class. These were my two primary accommodations for my statistics class in addition to a reader for in-class handouts we worked on throughout the class to help us learn the material from the lecture. I also Brailed out my notes using a slate and stylus. I am not all that great with Braille, so I created a math system that worked for me for the few simple formulas we needed to memorize. However, most of the calculations were done using the various statistical functions on the talking graphing calculator.

I hope this helps.

Warm regards,
Elizabeth

Dear Blindmath,

I am working with a blind student enrolled in statistics. I am trying to help her teacher describe the statistics problems in a way that my student can understand. I have heard of something called math speak, but I haven’t been able to find any information regarding this. Can anyone help with this issue?
Thank you.
Mary Fran Anderson
