Testimonial:
Positive Solutions for Braille Maths has reinforced that our children need real objects, concrete experiences and practical strategies to ensure that they are really understanding the mathematical concepts. It breaks down the concepts into areas with ideas for introducing and teaching these in the classroom and provides a comprehensive format to record what has been covered and when. The Braille maths guide is a valuable tool which clearly shows how to set out mathematical calculations clearly so that our children can access methods such as partitioning, the multiplication grid method and long division in a way which is simple and easy. They can then concentrate on the maths being the challenge – not the set out of the braille!” Teacher of VI – East Midlands
