[accessibility] Fwd: [BlindMath] Geometry in a high school mainstream class

[Jonathan Fine]

Please be aware that more and more education is web-based. Whether we
like it or not.

As you know, MathJax is an implementation of LaTeX markup and
typesetting for web pages.

Provided we move with the times, web-based education is not an
existential challenge.

Greetings!
Math curricula are constantly changing. Currently, the system in which
I am employed uses a curriculum at the high school level that is
entirely web based except for an enormous workbook which is available
in Braille.

I am seeking recommendations on how to manage classroom lecture
situations. Teachers use a smart board and navigate examples available
on the publisher’s website to present lessons and provide further
examples. Classroom presentations are very fluid, they change from
class to class based upon the questions asked by students and the
teachers preference. Keeping this in mind, it is almost impossible to
prepare examples of what will be presented to the class ahead of time
for the blind students to access in braille during their geometry math
class. The students in the geometry courses will have the assistance
of a paraprofessional whose responsibility will be to provide the
figures and equations as quickly as possible if they are not already
available.

Please, overload me with ideas on how the students may be provided
accurate figures and equations in a timely manner that will support
their interaction during the classroom instruction.

Thank you,
Janet
