Title: Focusing on the Maths
Jessica, a 14 - year - old with cataracts and microphthalmia, has difficulty seeing traditional maths rulers and protractors. Her mother, Sam, reached out to Helix, a leading stationery supplier, hoping for a solution.
Inspired by Jessica's story, Helix has developed a revolutionary maths set. This set includes a self - centring metal compass with safety point, a 9cm graphite pencil for use in a compass, a PVC and phthalate - free eraser, a pencil sharpener with anti - tamper screw, 15cm/6" ruler, a 45° and 90° set squares, an 180° protractor, and 10mm lettering stencil.
The RNIB Input is crucial. Designed in conjunction with the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB), the maths set uses a high - contrast black and yellow design to make each item easier to read. It comes in an embossed tin and is made of recycled card with braille markings.
The set also features details like large print graduations on the ruler, set squares and protractor. All text and markings/numbers are raised by 0.5mm to match braille specifications. There are lines of different lengths and notches to make the tools easier to use. Additionally, non - slip pads prevent sliding on paper.
