Hello Kellie:
I think trying to use diagrams of 3-d math models would be really
difficult. My father was a math teacher, and when he taught geometry, he had
access to three dimensional models. Unfortunately teachers don't use these
as much as they used to due to their cost.
Regards,
Robert Jaquiss

Hi Robert,
You're probably right, although this didn't seem to help me. In math class
they would give me a 3-d shape that was represented by the 2-d tactile
graphic in my book. I was told that you had to visualize the lines in the
tactile drawings as though they were folds, and if you folded the page
there
you would make the 3-d shape. I understood the idea, but can't visualize
things that complex. I can recognize a 2-d cone, and know it's supposed to
be a cone, but that's about it. maybe I'm the weird one--maybe I wouldn't
be
able to visualize even if I were sighted. I do know one totally sighted
person who says she can't visualize at all.
