What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · June 11, 2026
This is a tactile edition of the Illustrative Mathematics curriculum, covering Book 3, Units 7-9, produced by the American Printing House for the Blind. It converts the visual diagrams, graphs, and figures from the standard math textbook into raised-line tactile graphics that students who are blind or have low vision can explore by touch. Designed for students using the Illustrative Mathematics curriculum in school settings, it pairs with a braille text version so the student has full access to the same course content as sighted peers. This is a physical book — it doesn't include accompanying software or digital files — and because APH produces tactile materials to order, availability and lead times can vary.
