School Activities

1.      Do a maths lesson around how many different arrangements there are for the 6 dots (including the case of no dots). The answer is 2 to the power 6 or 64.    

2.  Texting is very popular with children so have something based on working out what the Braille shortforms stand for such as cd, wd, sd, yrf, hmf, herf, bec, gd. They might use them in their text messages to each other.

3.      Produce a certificate for pupils who can write down the alphabet and numbers from memory and then use it to decode a simple sentence.

Thanks for the ideas Diana and we hope others will find them useful.
