I would make the Y= in the text look the same as the Y= in the keystroke. You wouldn't need the dot 5, unless I'm missing something. D
This is really a formats question, but I will take a stab at it. I would braille the heading of the cross reference blocked in cell 7. After a blank line, the website addresses would begin in cell 5 and runover in cell 6. No begin or end CBC indicators are needed. I guess that is sort of combining the two codes -- BF and CBC
Hi Lynnette. Sorry to be so slow. The expert page stopped notifying me when I get a question and I just forgot to check. I have attached a small file with your equation. Hope you don't find many braille-o's.
Hi Lynnette. No, you can't split it there. The components of a modified expression may never be separated from each other by transition to a new braille line. Sec. 86a If you want to attach a picture, maybe I can help you work out where to divide your long expression. Dorothy
I am asking if there are braille symbols to show open or closed circles at the ends of a tactile line drawn on APH low-relief graph paper. Do I use the braille symbols used on a number line (X for open and full cell for closed)? The line is drawn with a spur wheel and the end points are either puff paint or hi-dots and I would braille the open or closed symbol next to the marked end point. These are disposable worksheets for an Algebra 1 student.
I'm not sure what you are asking me. Graph lines should be tactile so no braille characters would be used. Are you showing the graph line as braille? If drawing a tactile line, you would have to designate symbols (not braille dots) as representing either an open dot or a closed dot if they are shown in print. Perhaps a picture would help me understand what you are asking?
I think I would consider not including the blank and the colon. The instructions say to write the time shown on the clock. If you do retain it, use the double dash to indicate the blank in print. Don't forget the punctuation indicator preceding the colon.
First, let me apologize for the delay in answering your questions. I actually took a vacation. My answers will be suggestions only (for the time being). BANA is in the process of finalizing a set of guidelines for graphing calculators.
Y1 = sin x Yes, capital y followed by dot 5 number 1 as in print. Boldface should be indicated in braille. As for the two different ways of expressing y sub 1, follow print.
In the keystroke Y=, do not insert a space between the Y and the equal sign.
In keystroke X,T,(theta),n insert a space following each comma.I realize you have already sent this work off to the student, but I would like to offer a solution to this problem for others who are reading this post.
The print copy you attached shows electron dots as large black dots, with two placed linearly rather than paired. This is something new to us --we have no example like this in our codebook-- but I think I understand the purpose of this unusual presentation. In order to maintain the spacing of the top three hydrogen symbols, the standard way of showing two electron dots (in print) will not allow room on the flat page.
My basic understanding of these drawings is that they represent the shared electrons that are vibrating in a field which creates the bond. So whether they are shown as pairs or as individuals is not the issue. I have attached a possible solution to the braille transcription of this drawing. Just as the printer had to use stacked large electron dots in order to keep the hydrogen symbols independent, if we use single electron dots (one for each black dot) we can achieve the necessary spacing too.
The attached docx file shows both the print and braille version.
Note that the second hydrogen on line 4 must be moved right one cell to keep it away from the rightmost electron dot on line 3.Thank you for your responses.
I actually did do this type of formatting hoping that it would be correct.
Sorry Dorothy I could not open the attachment, but I understand from the first response what your advice is.
Thank you for your time.I talked with someone who does know chemistry. By consensus we came up with this suggestion. I didn't concern myself with alignment of the addition problem. There is no alignment shown in print, and I'm not considering this a polynomial that would require alignment. I apologize about the replacement number -- that is what it is. Let me know what you think of this and whether it seems readable to you.
