What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 23, 2026
These number tiles are a supplemental set for the Reach & Match Inclusive Education Kit, designed to teach early numeracy concepts to students who are blind or have low vision. Each tile represents a number from 1 to 26 and encodes that number through multiple sensory channels — shape, color, texture, tactile marking, and sound — so students can identify and match numbers without relying on print alone. This is an add-on accessory, not a standalone product; it requires the base Reach & Match Inclusive Education Kit to function as intended. Teachers or vision specialists selecting this should confirm they already have the core kit, since the tiles are designed to work within that system's matching and sequencing activities.

What Setup Looks Like
- Out of the box
Tiles can be handled and explored tactilely right out of the box. - With a guide
- Integrate tiles into the existing Reach & Match Inclusive Education Kit activity structure.
- Review the base kit's curriculum guide to understand how number tiles fit into sequencing and matching lessons — plan 30–60 minutes to map activities. See manufacturer support resources for detailed instructions.
- With professional help
- A Teacher of the Visually Impaired (TVI) or orientation and mobility specialist should guide how the tiles are introduced and sequenced for individual students.
- Expect 1–2 planning sessions with the educational team to align tile use with IEP goals.
