Sandy,
I have suggestions for a couple of ways your factoring illustration
could be brailled.
1. Probably the best way is to braille the numbers leaving extra space.
After embossing, use a spur wheel from the back to draw the lines from
the twelve to the 3 and 4 and from the 3 to the other 3 and from the 4
to the two 2s.
If this is too difficult or time-consuming, you could make it into an
equation:
2. 1st line, braille 12; indent your second line 2 cells and braille = 3
X (times) 4; 3rd line (indented as 2nd) = 3X2X2
I think you shouldn't try to use a braille symbol for the carats, since
they are just being used as connecting lines.

Hi!
I would welcome any suggestions on how to braille the following
problem. This is part of a high school math course. It shows how a
number is factored.
First line: 12.
Second line: a carat, or upside down v indicating that the 12 is broken
into two.
Third line shows a four and a three.
Fourth line: A carat is beneath the four, and a slightly diagonal
vertical line is beneath the 3.
Fifth line shows a two, another two (these are from the four above), and
a three.
Any suggestions? Thanks very much for any help or advice.
