What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 14, 2026
Pop Cubes are a replacement set of tactile manipulatives for the APH FOCUS in Mathematics curriculum kit, designed for students who are blind or have low vision learning early math concepts. Students connect and separate the interlocking cubes to explore counting, grouping, patterning, and basic operations through hands-on, tactile engagement rather than visual worksheets. This is a replacement part only — it requires the FOCUS in Mathematics Kit (Pack R) to be part of a complete instructional unit, and is not a standalone curriculum. Federal Quota funds are available, which means eligible students in the U.S. can receive this through their state's APH quota allocation rather than paying out of pocket.
