Most people think of braille as a reading and writing tool only for literacy, but don't know that there is braille specifically for math and numbers! This form of braille is called Nemeth Braille Code! Nemeth Braille Code is different from literary braille, and it is specifically created and taught to students with blindness and visual impairments for learning math and science notations, from simple addition to long division to fractions and geometry. A Nemeth Braille Math Kit is a moveable teaching system that allows any blind or visually impaired student to tactilely set up equations and problems in order to show a concrete example of their mathematical notations. It provides first hand access to invaluable symbols for success and understanding of all math levels from grade school all the way through to a profession in mathematics.
