What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 23, 2026
A set of 26 tactile tiles that extend the Reach & Match Light system into number recognition and early math concepts using the Nemeth braille code alongside print numerals. Each tile encodes a specific number (1–26) through a combination of shape, color, texture, sound, and raised tactile markings, so students who are blind or have low vision can access the same matching activities as sighted peers. This is a supplemental accessory — it requires the Reach & Match Light base unit to function and is not useful on its own. The Nemeth braille code used here is the standard system for math notation, so this set works best when introduced alongside formal braille math instruction rather than as a standalone learning tool.

What Setup Looks Like
- Out of the box
Attach individual tiles to the Reach & Match Light base unit as directed by the included activity guide. - With professional help
- A teacher of students with visual impairments (TVI) or orientation and mobility specialist should integrate the tiles into existing Nemeth code and early numeracy instruction.
- Coordinate use with the student's IEP math goals; expect initial planning to take 1–2 sessions before regular classroom use.
