Developing Mathematical Concepts through Orientation and Mobility
Smith, Derrick W.
RE:view: Rehabilitation Education for Blindness and Visual Impairment, v37 n4 p161-165 Win 2006
The National Council for Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM; 2000) encourages students to experience mathematics in multiple contexts, including science, history, physical education, business sciences, and agricultural sciences. All educators, including professionals such as orientation and mobility specialists who work with students who are visually impaired or blind, should comply with this goal. With a little effort, the field of orientation and mobility (O&M) can provide experiences that help students with visual impairments and blindness to develop the conceptual framework for understanding mathematics. In this article, the author explains how the O&M method helps students connect mathematical ideas to the world outside of school.
