What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 23, 2026
This is a tactile math manipulative set from APH featuring physical cylinder and cone shapes designed for teaching three-dimensional geometry concepts through touch. It's intended for students who are blind or have low vision and need a hands-on way to explore and understand 3D forms that are typically taught visually — surface area, volume relationships, and spatial properties. The set comes ready to use in a classroom or one-on-one instruction context, though it works best as part of a structured math lesson planned by a teacher or orientation specialist familiar with tactile learning materials. The GS10 covers just two geometric solids, so if you need a full geometry curriculum you'll likely need additional sets from the Geometro series.

- A teacher of students with visual impairments (TVI) or math educator integrates the shapes into geometry lessons aligned to the student's IEP or curriculum goals.
- Plan for 1–2 planning sessions to align use with existing tactile math curriculum. See manufacturer support resources for detailed instructions.
