What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 14, 2026
This is a replacement component pack for the FOCUS in Mathematics curriculum kit from APH, specifically containing tactile diagram strips and geometric shape manipulatives. Students who are blind or have low vision use these hands-on tactile materials to learn spatial and geometric math concepts — tracing shapes and diagrams with their fingers rather than reading visual diagrams. This is not a standalone curriculum; it replaces worn or missing pieces from the full FOCUS in Mathematics Kit, which must already be in use. If your student's shape set is lost or damaged mid-year, this pack restores access without purchasing the entire kit again.
