Modeling after the scientist, Geerat Vermeij, who was also blind, I taught my students to use a modified caliper. <BR>To modify it, you just take the front glass off it. Use the dial caliper by Helios. <BR>Geerat used his caliper to measure objects of all different shapes. He wrote the book, <U>Privileged Hands. </U>It is a VERY good instrument to teach the students how to use. <BR>Cindy Robinson<BR><U></U> <BR><BR> <BR>

<DIV>Hi!</DIV>
<DIV> As part of our 4th grade math curriculum, our students need to use <STRONG>rulers that go down to 16ths</STRONG> of an inch AND <STRONG>perpetual calendars</STRONG>. Does anyone know where we can locate <STRONG>Braille</STRONG> versions of these? </DIV>
<DIV> We and our TVI have not been able to find anything. We tried to make a ruler, but with no success. When we tried to type in the perpetual calendar to emboss it, it got all garbled and unusable. Although I am sure it could be sorted out, it would be very time-consuming. We are hoping that someone knows where we can purchase one.</DIV>
<DIV>Thanks for your help!</DIV>
