What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 23, 2026
This is the teacher's guide for Unit 8 of MathBuilders, a curriculum from APH designed to teach mathematics concepts to students who are blind or have low vision. The guide itself is produced in braille, so a teacher who reads braille can use it directly without a sighted intermediary. MathBuilders takes a tactile, hands-on approach to math instruction, and this unit's guide provides the lesson structure, activity directions, and pedagogical notes that make the hands-on kit materials usable in a classroom or intervention setting. This is a replacement component, not a standalone curriculum — it's only useful alongside the corresponding Unit 8 kit materials. APH has discontinued MathBuilders, so availability is limited to remaining stock; factor that into any long-term planning.
