Use of Belcastro Rods to Teach Mathematical Concepts to Blind Students.
Belcastro, Frank P.
RE:view, v21 n2 p71-79 Sum 1989
The article suggests that Belcastro rods, which retain the basic properties of Cuisenaire rods but allow instant identification by touch, may be useful in teaching mathematical concepts to blind children. Drawings illustrate use of the rods in teaching such concepts as addition and subtraction. (Author/DB)
