Course Description: From counting beads to digital math apps, APH offers tools that can transform math learning for students with visual impairments. This course explores how to bring math standards to life through the intentional use of APH math products across early elementary through high school math instruction. The course also examines how these products align with major standards frameworks in areas such as Number Sense, Geometry, and Algebraic Thinking. Participants will develop a practical instructional plan that integrates grade-level expectations, standards-based thinking, and accessible math tools to support student learning.
