ABSTRACT:
A flexible planar apparatus fabricated from polyvinylchloride has a matrix of foldable lines defining a plurality of quadrilateral tiles. Said tiles are configured to convey information, such as a multiplication table using numerals or Braille characters. The foldable lines allow a first fold of the apparatus to be manually effected followed by a second substantially orthogonal fold of said apparatus, thereby uniquely identifying one of the tiles, which may represent the product of multiplicands in a times table.
