What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 23, 2026
This is a tactile math reference chart printed in Nemeth braille, showing addition and subtraction facts for whole numbers in a grid format students can read by touch. It's designed for blind or low-vision students who are learning basic arithmetic and need a tactile equivalent of the printed multiplication/addition tables sighted students use. The chart works as a standalone reference — no batteries, apps, or setup required. It covers only addition and subtraction, so students needing multiplication or division facts will need separate materials; APH sells those as well.

What Setup Looks Like
- Out of the box
- Orient the student to the table's row/column layout by tracing the edges and locating the header cells.
- Demonstrate how to find the intersection of two numbers to read the sum or difference.
- With professional help
- A teacher of the visually impaired (TVI) or orientation and mobility specialist can introduce Nemeth braille notation and table-reading strategies if the student is newer to braille math.
- Integration into IEP math goals typically requires coordination with the TVI — expect one or two short instructional sessions to establish independent use.
