What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 23, 2026
This is a 25-piece set of tactile tokens used in APH's FOCUS in Mathematics curriculum — a math program designed for students who are blind or have low vision. The tokens have distinct tactile surfaces so students can sort, count, and manipulate them by touch alone to work through early math concepts. This is a replacement part for the full FOCUS in Mathematics Kit, not a standalone curriculum; it won't do much without the broader program materials. The set is Federal Quota eligible, meaning schools serving students with visual impairments can purchase it through APH quota funds — a common funding route for families and teachers to be aware of.
