Thank you so much for explaining the two possible options.  I think I am going to go with omitting the circles and substituting brackets to reduce the clutter.

Thank you, I should have mentioned that I am doing this in Nemeth embedded in UEB code.  I will use the Tiger software for the drawn lines, and will use the NI above and below the number lines.

Thank you, Kyle, for your helpful answer and in getting back to me so quickly!  And, yes, I did sign up for the upcoming webinar series and am looking forward to it.

That makes sense about omitting the outer container box and explaining that in a TN.  Thank you.

Wow! I really like the beautifully simple tactile line idea! Thank you so much! One really nice thing is that I can make it the length needed, and it does not take much time to make the tactile line.  I'm going to go with that one.

Thanks again!

Thank you for the updated answer, and that does make sense.

Thank you, Kyle. Your explanation really does help to clarify this for me.

Thank you so much! That is very helpful. Just a follow-up--for the use of the Nemeth symbols of shape for the square, I am going to assume that for the 5 digit number that I would just put the symbols of shape and nemeth comma adjacent to one another unspaced?

Hi Susan
I think that, particularly due to the grade level, I would use the numeric indicator. Although the examples are similar to a thermometer and clock (as per Unit 6 of Guidelines and Standards for Tactile Graphics), they are not in the list on page 6-2.
I think that for the volume diagram, you should simplify to a straight on view, and explain in a transcriber's note. The same note could indicate that the measurements are given in Litres (L). Move the numbers and ticks outside (to the left) of the diagram, as is done for a thermometer. For the weigh scale, it should again be simplified with a description stating that there is a watermelon and _[u]?[/u]_ bananas on the scale, but that only the dial is shown in braille. Again, you could include in the TN that the measurements are shown in kilograms (kg). The tactile graphic could then be shown similar to a clock with the ticks straddling the perimeter and the numbers (including the numeric indicator) moved outside the circular dial.
Hope this helps decide how to handle these at a lower grade level. Keep it simple!

Hullo, Susan!

I would say that it is safe to ignore the bold for all of the i's in your worksheet.

The heading of the worksheet, "Complex Numbers", does indicate that the i's represent imaginary numbers. Since there is no indication that the i's represent a vector or anything else that would have to be denoted by boldface, it appears that the bold is used in print only for appearance.

Thank you for the question.

Susan,

After conferring with my (excellent) committee, I can tell you that overall we think you should use the margin in effect. That is, your NC terminator after a spatial problem in a picture caption should be in cell 5.

Thank you for your perceptive question.
