[Vicki Walton via athen-list]

I apologize as I should have given more background.  This is an OER book in its development.

The tables throughout that include review questions and answers as well as the [GL] and [/GL] are internal project tags for this draft version of the text. These will not be visible in the final version.

Hello everyone,

A colleague is reviewing a section in the Math for Bakery and Business textbook on page 13-15<https://docs.google.com/document/d/14GJ9MRb9zHAp-9xsF3xIAss3ry9uo3zbqafSUaDaVYg/edit?tab=t.0> where the author explains place values using underlines and shading. At this time, we are aware that screen readers do not typically announce formatting unless users change those advanced settings. I would appreciate it if someone could look at this portion of the text along with the comments that were shared about this approach.

If you have time to review the materials and offer your thoughts, your perspective would be very helpful.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Best regards,

Vicki
