Open captioned. The Equalize Editor allows braille users to create documents using UEB contracted text and Nemeth braille math. It supports file I/O, Google Drive integration, clipboard cut/paste, and document export to HTML, PDF, and BRF formats. Its accessible user interface gives sighted and braille users equal access to online math content. The Equalize Editor enables braille math students to interact with sighted math teachers who do not understand braille, nor the specialized braille codes used by the visually impaired. The Equalize Editor combines a visual math editor with support for braille codes for literary text (UEB Literary) and math formulas (Nemeth). It allows both sighted and braille users to create text with embedded math, either using visual keyboard commands and math symbol buttons, or using braille equivalents of these commands and math operations taken from the relevant braille standards.

Closed Captioned. This session will share a variety of games, activities, and resources that can be used when providing instruction of Nemeth Code within UEB Contexts to students at the middle school level. It will include the use of Which One Doesn't Belong (WODB), Bingo, What is Wrong (WOW), What is the Question, Mazes, Boggle, and Jeopardy! This can be done virtually and in person. The purpose of the games is to promote critical thinking skills while learning the Nemeth code and reinforcing math concepts. Participants will be able to: 1. Identify ways to include families in virtual instruction of the Nemeth Code. 2. Identify three activities that can be used to teach Nemeth code in person or virtually to middle school students who read braille. 3. Make connections between learning the Nemeth code and learning math.

Ariana adds 42 + 57. She reads the problem from her worksheet, written in Nemeth. She uses the "Rule of 4" for her exchanges and arrives at the correct answer 99. She records her answer on the Perkins Braillewriter in correct Nemeth Code. You can see she is still uncertain about the Nemeth but her "guess" was right.
