(Louis) TransMath, Making Sense of Rational Numbers

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 14, 2026

This is a braille-accessible e-file version of TransMath's 'Making Sense of Rational Numbers' curriculum, formatted for use through the Louis database — APH's distribution system for accessible educational materials for students who are blind or have low vision. The content covers rational number concepts (fractions, decimals, percentages) in a format compatible with braille displays and screen readers, intended for students in middle school math who need accessible textbook files rather than print materials. This is a digital file download, not a standalone app or device — you'll need a compatible braille display, screen reader, or refreshable braille notetaker to use it meaningfully. It's Federal Quota eligible, meaning schools can use quota funds allocated for blind students to cover the cost, which makes procurement straightforward for TVIs and special education coordinators.

What Setup Looks Like

• Out of the box
  Purchase and download the e-file from the APH Louis database using your account credentials.
• With a guide
  
  1. Open the file in a compatible screen reader or braille display software (e.g., JAWS, NVDA, or a braille notetaker like BrailleNote).
  2. Confirm the file renders correctly in the student's preferred access format before use in instruction — allow 15–30 minutes for initial setup and compatibility check.
  3. See manufacturer support resources for detailed instructions.
• With professional help
  
  1. A Teacher of the Visually Impaired (TVI) should confirm the file format is compatible with the student's specific device and reading level.
  2. Integration into an IEP or classroom math curriculum typically involves coordination between the TVI, math teacher, and special education team.
