Grid and Go

• The yellow and red 3 x 3, 5 x 5, 10 x 10 grids and individual frames:
  • alleviate the time-consuming setup of grids imposed by linking individual strips currently provided in the Picture Maker Kit and Accessory Kits;
  • eliminate the tactile distraction created by inconsistent spacing between linked individual strips;
  • accommodate a plethora of uses (e.g., O&M mapping, recreational games, math graphs and tables, recreation/game applications);
  • and provide visual contrast to the black felt board and surrounding applied hook-backed shapes/pieces.

• The Grid and Go grids are provided in the following configurations, colors, and thicknesses:
  • 10 x 10 grids: (1) thick red grid with square tiles, (1) thin red grid with square tiles, (1) thick yellow grid with square tiles, (1) thin yellow grid with square tiles
  • 5 x 5 grids: (1) thick red grid with square tiles, (1) thin red grid with square tiles, (1) thick yellow grid with square tiles
  • 3 x 3 grids: (1) thick red grid with square tiles, (1) thin red grid with square tiles, (1) thick yellow grid with square tiles, (1) thin yellow grid with square tiles
  • Individual frames: (12) individual yellow frames with 2-in. x 2-in. (5.08 cm x 5.08 cm) openings and square tiles, (6) individual yellow frames with 3-in. x 3-in. (7.62 cm x 7.62 cm) openings and square tiles
• White Adhesive-Backed Hook Strips (to apply to grids) – 80 strips total
• QR Code insert that links to the product page with free downloadable BRF and PDF versions of the Activity Booklet. Important: The Activity Booklet provides instructions for the initial application of the hook strips to the back of the grids and individual frames by the customer.

Some of the specific advantages of Grid and Go as described by field evaluators included the following:

• “I liked them better for game boards, arrays, coding activities, bar graphs, and pictographs.”
• “The grids allowed for a more consistent spatial setup for trying to demonstrate alignment of numbers and letters to each other.”
• The grids keep lines parallel better than using strips when making intersections, squares, etc.
• “It is easy to use; it provides a clear boundary when completing the activity and it is readymade, not something the teacher has to make on the go.”
• “Pre-made grid allows for time to be saved creating one. With the differences in height of the different foams, it can be easier to represent concepts for a blind student than it would be with using something like tape.”

Some specific examples of how the students utilized and enjoyed the grids include the following:

• “He enjoyed creating his own five and ten frames using the 5 x 5 grid and bar graphs using the 10 x 10 grid. He used Feel ‘n Peel number stickers to make a single letter label for the bottom of the columns in the bar graph.”
• “She liked the searching games we could set up practicing tracking and matching.”
  “The student enjoyed the ‘Complete a Pattern’ activity, where we began with a bigger grid and then advanced to smaller grids for more challenge.”
• “She loved being able to set up the grids herself. She struggles creating grids and tactile images so she enjoyed being independent and helping me set the system up for her to use. She also loved using it for different subjects/concepts.””
• “Consistency with the grid size for lining up manipulatives were helpful for the student to estimate location of number stickers added to the product.”
