FOCUS in Mathematics: Geometric Shapes (Bag of 54)

by American Printing House for the Blind

$119.60

Professional guidance helps The physical shapes themselves are simple to handle, but they are part of a structured curriculum (FOCUS in Mathematics Kit) that a TVI or special education teacher would typically deliver. Selecting appropriate lessons, adapting pacing, and ensuring correct use within the curriculum requires professional guidance — a student or family wouldn't typically use these in isolation.

What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 23, 2026

This is a bag of 54 tactile geometric shapes designed for blind and low-vision students learning mathematics concepts like shape recognition, sorting, and classification. The shapes are three-dimensional or relief objects students can explore by touch, serving as accessible manipulatives for a math curriculum that sighted students typically access visually. This is a replacement/refill bag for the FOCUS in Mathematics Kit — not a standalone kit — so it assumes you already have the full curriculum or need to restock a depleted set. Federal Quota funds are available, which is the primary funding mechanism for APH products accessed through state schools for the blind or district vision programs; make sure your student is registered with APH through their teacher of the visually impaired (TVI) to use that funding.
