[Pibe-division] Geometry Tactile Manipulatives

[Judi Piscitello]

Hi Folks!
I just learned of some great manipulatives to teach spatial concepts in
math, science, engineering, O&M, and even art!  They're designed by a
woman in Canada who is interest in sharing them with students who are
blind!  Check them out at:

She also offers a great hands-on workshop with her materials!  Her name
is Aniceta Skowron, Ph.D.
