These conditions pose significant disabilities for visually impaired individuals and their immediate surroundings. Children with visual impairments encounter numerous challenges in their daily lives and learning, unlike their sighted counterparts. Nevertheless, despite these obstacles, they depend significantly on their tactile and auditory senses to glean information from their surroundings. Meanwhile, mathematics poses a unique challenge for students, as its abstract concepts can be difficult to visualize, potentially diminishing interest in the subject. Recognizing the potential of 3D printing technology to enhance visualization and interaction with three-dimensional models, this study aims to develop a module that combines mathematics in Braille with 3D printed models. The goal is to facilitate a more accessible and engaging learning experience for visually impaired children, fostering a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts. The module incorporates tactile games designed to improve focus and study habits, thereby addressing the specific needs of visually impaired learners. The module comprises 3 games as 3in1 Geoboard: Numerical Jumble, Pinpoint Placer and Geo Art. The game tools employed in this module underwent 3D design through computer-aided design (CAD) software, integrating Braille code within mathematical constructs tailored to the requirements of visually impaired children and their mathematics curriculum. Subsequently, the 3D model was transformed into a tangible object using a 3D printer. These printed objects served as educational tools within the development of an integrated module encompassing both 4IR elements and Braille components. Instructions for the game were seamlessly integrated to facilitate straightforward delivery of module content by educators. Therefore, adopting a game-based learning module approach not only proves effective for individuals who are blind but also provides visually impaired children with a practical avenue to learn Braille and enhance their understanding of mathematical concepts. This educational approach holds particular significance for visually impaired children in their daily lives while greatly revolutionize educator-coordinated learning of mathematics through engaging education for the framework of 10-10 MySTIE Socio-economic drivers.en-US3D printed geoboard3in1 gamesinteractive modulevisualization and kinestheticvisually impaired childrenCrafting Mathematical Minds by Engaging Braille-Tangible 3in1 3D Printed Geoboards Module for Visually Impaired Childrentext::journal::journal article::research article11211
