What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · June 11, 2026
This is a tactile edition of the Illustrative Mathematics curriculum (Book 1, Units 1-3), produced by the American Printing House for the Blind. It converts standard math instructional materials into formats accessible to students who are blind or have significant vision loss — using embossed tactile graphics and braille to represent the diagrams, graphs, and visual elements that make up a substantial portion of math instruction. This is a complete classroom-ready resource for a student working through an Illustrative Mathematics course, not a supplemental tool. Schools ordering for a braille-using student should coordinate with a Teacher of the Visually Impaired (TVI) to confirm grade level and unit alignment with their specific curriculum sequence, as the Illustrative Mathematics series spans multiple grade levels and this set covers only Units 1-3 of Book 1.
