Visual math for dyslexic & dyscalculic learners
Shape Math® is a visual math program for people with dyscalculia and dyslexia. It turns the base-10 number system into shapes that fit together, so instead of memorizing how two numbers add, students see how they fit, and they solve problems into the hundreds in their heads, without times tables.

Each shape has its own amount
Sound familiar?
Times tables won't stick, and every new topic feels like starting from zero.
Rules and steps on paper fade because there's nothing concrete to hang them on, and reading-heavy lessons add another hurdle.
Confidence drops long before the skill does, especially for dyslexic and dyscalculic learners.
Shape Math® is tailored to how dyslexic and dyscalculic minds work, because it was designed by a dyslexic who is also dyscalculic.

How it works
Shape Math® makes the basic math most people take for granted something you can see. It's built on a ten-based shape that every number below ten fits into, so students solve problems simply by connecting shapes together.
The program's creator guides every step. Because the lessons are videos, students can teach themselves without having to read.
Learners drag and combine the pieces on screen. Numbers become shapes that fit together, so a sum is something they can see.
Mental and written techniques let learners use Shape Math anywhere, without the app. A final lesson tests what they've learned and flags anything to review.
What they'll master
Mental math into the hundreds, and division without memorized times tables.

Questions
Shape Math was designed by a dyslexic who is also dyscalculic, and it's tailored to how those minds work. Numbers become shapes students can see and move, lessons are taught by video so reading isn't a barrier, and division is taught without memorized times tables. It's a way of learning math, not a diagnosis or treatment, so it works alongside any support the student already has.
Any device that runs HTML5. It's optimized for PC and Mac computers and for iPad. Android tablets vary, so try the free trial on yours first. Windows 8 tablets aren't supported, but Windows 8 computers work with a mouse or trackpad.
No. The program is taught through 14+ hours of video lessons with the programs inventor, so students can work independently, even if reading is a struggle.
A subscription works on one device at a time. Schools and tutors with several students should look at the multi-seat options.
Yes, the first time through, because each lesson builds on the last. Afterward students can revisit any lesson, and the final lesson shows which ones to review.
