What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 23, 2026
This is a replacement parts pack for the FOCUS in Mathematics Kit — a tactile math curriculum developed by APH for students who are blind or have low vision. The pack contains manipulatives like corks, wiffle balls, and clothespins that students handle physically to explore mathematical concepts they can't access through standard print materials. It's designed for students in educational settings where the full FOCUS in Mathematics Kit is already in use; this pack doesn't stand alone as a complete learning tool. If the originals are lost or worn out, having replacements keeps the tactile learning activities running without having to repurchase the entire kit.
