Hello, reading the messages below, esp. regarding visualizing the shapes, I suggest you check out this site: www.picciotto.orgHe has manipulatives, particularly the Lab Gear, which can be used to concretize the abstractions. I haven’t used them yet, am thinking of ordering them. {I tutor math to LD high-schoolers. For sure, they need help visualizing.} If any one tries the Lab Gear, please post your opinion.
