In conclusion, it is important to build math concepts early for students
who are blind and visually impaired, as well as those students with additional
disabilities. This population of students requires a thorough understanding of
basic concepts so higher mathematics skills can be achieved throughout the
years as the concepts become more challenging. The games and activities
described in Table 1 can help motivate these students to master basic
concepts in mathematics and develop social skills within their general
education classroom by learning with their peers.
