Division on Visual Impairments

; Lorem Ipsum Dolor Spring 2016 4 2. Steiner Tree Activity • Goal: Computers use algorithms to find the shortest paths through networks. • Curricular Barrier: Students were asked to connect printed dots to form networks and to use other visual representations to determine distances and routes. • Enhancement: LEGO bricks and a base plate are provided. Constructing the physical model and measuring distance tactilely help students form a mental picture of their network. Picture 2 – Students using legos to create shortest path through a circuit 41
