Nemeth Worksheets NWEmbosser Notes....
If you decide to download and install the Nemeth Worksheets program, you'll need to make a few changes to a generic printer that the program creates in the printer folder. NWEmbosser is only used by this program and will not interfere with your standard printing and embossing.
A one time, 'roll up your sleeves' kind of thing is needed to be done prior to using the program. The default paper size for the NWEmbosser must be set to Envelope Monarch. Also, the NWEmbosser must be set to print directly to the printer.
Setting Default Paper Size to Envelope Monarch:
Windows Key then
Devices and Printers then
Select NWEmbosser then
Aps Key then
Preferences then
Advanced then
Select Envelope Monarch from Paper Size then
OK two times to return to NWEmbosser
Setting the NWEmbosser to Print directly to the printer:
While still at the NWEmbosser Preferences Screen:
CTRL + TAB to select Advanced Tab then
ALT + D to select Print directly to the printer then
OK to save and exit settings
You'll not have to do this again.
Watch the video below if you're unsure what to do.
Attention Screen Reader Users: To view the video follow these steps:
1. List Links
2. Tap V for Video and tap the Enter key
3. Tap Down Arrow Then tap TAB 1 time.
4. Ctrl + Enter In a moment or two, you'll hear a ding and then unfortunately my less than enthusiastic voice.

Great activity for math and developing those fine motor skills that are important for signature writing. All students need a legible signature.
The other Less Greater Than sheets require.....scissors and glue. Students cut out a series of math problems and paste them onto designated columns on a separate braille sheet. Be sure you students are up on their Cane Skills so they can run down the hallway with scissors with the rest of the kids. See Story Problems page.
