Do you have a braille student who is or will soon be taking geometry? Here is a free opportunity to brush up on your TVI-related geometry skills in order to successfully support your student!
Project Inspire is repeating the course, “Geometry and Tactile Graphics for Students in Grades 3 to 8”. This course includes lessons about transcribing geometry materials into Nemeth Code within UEB Contexts, how to create tactile graphics for your students and how to teach your student to create their graphics, and how to teach to accurately locate and interpret information on tactile graphics.
Please see the attached flyer for information about the course. Course Dates: June 14, 2021 – July 23, 2021. View the online sign up form here.
Please also feel free to share this information with others who may be interested.
In addition, there are a few openings for the Nemeth in a Box program for middle school students in June. If you know of students who might benefit, please feel free to share the attached information about the program! For more information, see the Nemeth in a Box post here.
If you have questions, please let me know!
