A few Direction patterns to remember

Some Braille numbers behave identically. When two numbers share a pattern, you only have to remember one of them.

  • 1 = 4

    Same pattern

    • Up
    • Right
    • Left
    • Down

  • 2 = 7

    Same pattern

    • Right
    • Down
    • Up
    • Left

  • 3 = 5

    Same pattern

    • Left
    • Up
    • Right
    • Up

  • 6 = 8

    Same pattern

    • Up
    • Left
    • Down
    • Right

  • 9

    Its own pattern

    • Right

Read straight off the table above — the same four answers, in the same order.

Use a two-part callout

  • 01

    Give the two clues in order

    Say the Braille number first, then the light: “Braille 6, Yellow.”

  • 02

    Answer with one word

    Reply with the direction and nothing else: “Right.”

  • 03

    Repeat the clues when asked

    If the answer is questioned, say the two clues again rather than repeating the direction louder.

Common Direction mistakes

  • Using the light color alone

    The same light can give a different direction for another Braille number.

  • Using the Braille number alone

    Both clues are required. The light changes the direction for the same number.

  • Calling out the answer without the clues

    Use “Braille 6, Yellow” first if your team needs to verify the answer.

  • Reusing the previous answer

    Recheck both clues on a new module or a new round.
