What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · July 5, 2026
This is the tactile edition of the Illustrative Mathematics Algebra 2, Volume 1 curriculum — the same course content used in mainstream classrooms, reproduced with tactile graphics and braille-ready formatting so students with visual impairments can access the same mathematical instruction as their sighted peers. It's designed for high school students who are blind or have significant low vision and are enrolled in an algebra 2 course. This is a physical tactile book, not a software product — the tactile graphics represent graphs, diagrams, and other visual math content that would otherwise be inaccessible. Produced through APH's Louis database program, it's Federal Quota eligible, meaning schools of record can often obtain it through their allocated Federal Quota funds rather than paying out of pocket.
