Tactile Tangrams: Foam Puzzles Pieces 2mm Magnet Backed

by American Printing House for the Blind

Professional guidance helps The pieces themselves are simple to handle, but meaningful use requires integration into a structured math curriculum by a TVI who understands how to teach geometry concepts tactually. This is a replacement part for an existing kit, so a professional context is already presumed.

What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 23, 2026

These are replacement foam puzzle pieces for the APH Tactile Tangrams Kit — the classic seven-piece geometric puzzle adapted with raised tactile surfaces and small magnets on the back so pieces stay positioned on a magnetic board. Designed for students who are blind or have low vision learning foundational geometry concepts like shapes, spatial reasoning, and symmetry through touch rather than sight. This listing is just the replacement piece set, not the full kit — you'll need the original Tactile Tangrams board and kit to use them meaningfully. Federal Quota eligible, meaning most students in the US can access this through their state's APH quota allocation rather than paying out of pocket.

What Setup Looks Like

  • Out of the box
    Place foam pieces on the magnetic tangram board and begin working puzzles — pieces snap lightly to the surface to hold position.
  • With professional help
    A teacher of students with visual impairments (TVI) or orientation and mobility specialist integrates these into math instruction aligned to the student's IEP goals.
