Taylor's Frame - L02 - Type A (Mathematical Operators, . & = ) and Type B (Variables & Brackets)

In this video you will learn about: A. Representing Mathematical Operators (+, -, × & ÷), Decimal Point (.) and Equal To (=) Sign using Type A on the Taylor's Frame. B. Representing Variables (A, B, C, D, X, Y & Z), Occasional Bit, Different Types of Brackets (( ) { } [ ]), Index Sign or Indicator (Power/Exponent) and Radical Sign (√) using Type B on the Taylor's Frame. Class/Grade: Primary and Secondary Subject: Mathematics Educational Setup: Special School Focus Group: Children with Visual Impairment + Teachers & Parents Lesson 01: Introduction to Taylor Frame + Representing Numbers 0 to 9    • Taylor's Frame - L01 - Representing N...   How to prepare Tactile Enlarged Models of Type A (Arithmetic Type) & Type B (Algebraic Type)    • Tactile TLM: Taylor’s Frame - Models ...   Please Note: - The number written after the Index Sign or Indicator denotes the power of the number/variable preceding the Index Sign. - The number/variable written after the Radical Sign denotes the number/variable placed within the under root or square root sign.

Q. Is there any scope for improvement ? 

Ans. Yes, there is a good scope for improvement. 

Suggestions: 

1. To avoid the use of food items in preparing a TLM, instead of using cumin seeds (jeera), you can use anything (like ball bearings) that will produce an audible output for preparing the dice. 

2. You can also place the reference sheet that will be used by the kids to understand the tactile markings on the left hand side of the chart.
