Setup with instructions The blocks work immediately out of the box, but getting real educational benefit — especially for Braille literacy goals — is meaningfully better with a structured approach or guidance from a TVI. A parent or teacher can set up and use these with a simple tutorial or curriculum guide, making guided setup the right tier.

What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · April 26, 2026

These are wooden blocks that display numbers and math symbols in both standard printed numerals and Braille, with raised tactile markings that let a child trace the shape of each number alongside its Braille equivalent. They're designed for blind or low-vision children learning number concepts, early math, and Braille literacy — and they work equally well in inclusive classrooms where sighted and non-sighted kids learn together. The set of 16 blocks is a complete, self-contained manipulative — nothing else needed to use them. One thing to note: at 16 blocks, the set covers basic numerals and common math symbols but won't include the full range of Braille Nemeth math notation used in more advanced work.

    1. Open the package — blocks are ready to handle, sort, and use for counting and number recognition right away.
    2. Use tactile tracing of each block to connect the printed numeral shape with its Braille cell alongside hands-on counting activities.
  • With professional help
    A teacher of the visually impaired (TVI) can integrate these blocks into a structured Braille literacy or early math curriculum for best learning outcomes.
