Compensatory Skills Math Curricula
Compensatory Skills Math Resources
F. L. Franks, S. Albrecht, R. V. Morris, & K. R. Morris. (1985). American Printing House for the Blind, Louisville, KY. 124 pp.
This activity-based program emphasizes the fundamental operations, properties and structure of mathematics. It helps determine knowledge and skills required of students in order to begin math study. The assessments materials identify deficits in concepts so the teacher can focus instruction. Separate manuals for assessing and instructing deafblind and multihandicapped students are available. The kit includes tangible and vacuformed materials.
Subjects Covered:
Mangold, S. (n.d.n). Exceptional Teaching Aids, Castro Valley, CA
This program introduces the braille numerals 0-9 and teaches rapid and accurate braille number recognition. It provides practice in tracking numbers horizontally and vertically. The ink-print teacher's manual includes step by step instructions and ink-print replicas of each braille worksheet. The student workbook contains criterion tests, braille worksheets, games, sample number lines, and more.
M. E. Davidow. (1975). American Printing House for the Blind, Louisville, KY. 88 pp.
A simplified manual based on GissoniÕs Using the Cranmer Abacus. Available in large print and braille, this book introduces teacher and student to the use of the abacus.
Subjects Covered:
E. Laudenslager. (1972). San Francisco State College, San Francisco, CA. 106 pp.
The material in this handbook is written as an introductory study guide to braille mathematics, and to give the student experience in transcribing basic arithmetic, algebra and geometry.
Subjects Covered:
H. Roberts, B.M. Krebs. B. Taffet. (n.d.). Library of Congress, Washington. 106 pp.
This book has been designed as an easily assimilated presentation of the special symbols and complex rules and procedures laid down in the Nemeth Code for Mathematics and Science Notation. lessons and exercises have been arranged in a smooth step-by-step progression; wherever possible, rules and guidelines have been couched in familiar terms rather than the highly technical vocabulary of the mathematical expert. The style and presentation should enable the braille transcriber with a general knowledge of mathematical notation to become fully conversant with the provisions of the code and to make a meaningful contribution in the vital area of specialized service.
Subjects Covered:
R. H. Craig. (1987). American Printing House for the Blind, Louisville, KY. 123 pp.
This manual is a text for learning those parts of the Nemeth Code likely to be used in elementary school, junior high school, and high school mathematics. It is designed primarily for use in teacher-training programs, but it may also serve to teach the Nemeth Code to new braille readers in upper grades and high school, even as a self-teaching text for individual teachers.
Subjects Covered:
R. Livingston. (1997). Texas School for the Blind and Visually Impaired, Austin. 168 pp.
This is a manual for how to use the abacus for mathematical computation. It demonstrates two different methods, the TSBVI method and the Counting Method. All mathematical operations are covered and sample problems are included.
