MATHEMATICS
The Tennessee School for the Blind offers a full and diversified mathematics curriculum for the students we serve. Print students are provided special dark-line paper, special graph paper, pencils, ballpoint pens, felt-tip pens, and calculators with large displays. Braille students are provided Braille paper (notebook and extra wide), Braillewriters, Braillelites, and talking calculators. The mathematics curriculum for the high school student offers a choice of vocational or academic path. The academic path for those planning to attend college and the vocational path for those planning to work or receive vocational training. The mathematics program is hands-on training (as any skill related training must be) where raised-line graphs and diagrams, as well as, two-dimensional and three-dimensional models are utilized as needed.
