Our story

K5shapes began with a problem I saw firsthand as a volunteer teaching algebra and geometry to adults returning to school.

Bright and determined, but for lack of a good foundation, they found it hard to grasp advanced topics.

As a former president of aerospace companies, my patented 3D technology has helped thousands of middle school students learn engineering drawing, design, and spatial geometry in public schools.

K5shapes brings that technology tailored for younger children to start learning geometry in 3D and build a sound foundation early for later grades.

Children see, learn and practice geometry hands-on in 3D, and explore how it is used in real things.

How it works

  ●   Patented technology makes it easy to teach & learn in 3D

  ●   Five learning levels support multiple standards

  ●   Open architecture allows easy navigation

  ●   3D printing brings learning to life


FAQs

What makes this geometry program unique?
 ▽

Unlike others, this program is based on our patented 3D technology proven by public schools.

Ease of use allows teachers more time on curriculum than on teaching how to use the program.

Students remain engaged and grasp concepts easily.


How teachers use this program?
 ▽

Teachers use it to:

(a)   Demonstrate their lessons live in 3D

(b)   Make 3D models to show geometry in things

(c)   Add 3D notes to lessons to explain points

(d)   Share examples students can view from home

(e)   3D print student work


How students benefit from this program?
 ▽

(a)   Students learn & work in 3D from the start

(b)   Try out what they learn & clear doubts

(c)   Use shapes to make other shapes & 3D models

(d)   Develop skills useful in STEM

Ease of use helps students learn in their own ways.


What about education standards and curricula?
 ▽

(a)   Teachers use it with their own state-approved curriculum

(b)   K5shapes addresses multiple state standards in five learning levels:

●   Level A - for learning about shapes, their attributes, location, size, orientation, relative position, symmetry, inflection, similarity, congruence,.. (Points, Lines, Rays, Curves, Angles, Triangles, Quadrilaterals, Circles, Polygons, and Solids)

●   Level B - where children make/erase these shapes hands-on in 3D, see their attributes, and explore freehand shapes

●   Level C - for building, composing shapes together to make other creative shapes

●   Level D - with more tools to group, mirror, modify, partition, intersect, scale shapes

●   Level E - for 2D graphs and how graphs tell us more about shapes

     Teachers use levels as needed for their lessons.
