The Ultimate

Classroom Manipulative

Zometool is used in over 6,000 schools and institutions across the US.

It is used in grades 1 through the university level to help teach algebra, scale, number sense, symmetry, proportion, geometry, DNA structure, trigonometry, and more.

Zometool is based on a version of the 61-zone structural system which includes purely mathematical models from tilings to hyperspace projections, as well as molecular models of quasicrystals and fullerenes, and architectural space frame structures. Zometool's balls (nodes) and struts let you build models within the 61-zone system which lifts the study of these objects off the flat page and literally puts it into the hands of students.

In classrooms across the globe, teachers are taking advantage of the unique benefits Zometool brings to the study of math, art, science, and technology. The high-quality modeling of Zometool makes it easier and more enjoyable for students to learn, and increases their capacity for abstract reasoning through tactile and visual feedback. Students understand new concepts better, and find them more interesting.

Zometool Consists Of:

Project Kits: Thoughtfully designed to build a specific model or project, Zometool Projects come in a jar and include detailed explorations and step-by-step instructions; many of the new Projects have been produced as a collaborative effort with experts in their fields.

System Kits: A balanced mix of different Zometool construction parts presented in special sorting cases which make cleanup fast, easy and convenient. These kits allow for more flexible explorations of a very wide range of subjects.

(Coming Soon) Workshop Kits: Are designed with groups in mind. They contain a generous amount of construction parts distributed in special sorting cases in a way that makes teamwork painless. Equally useful for very large projects!

Individual Parts: Purchase custom quantities of a specific type of Zometool component according to your needs.

ZomePad Software Our new modeling software allows you to open model files and follow step-by-step, graphic and written interactive instructions. It will also allow educators around the world to share their models and insights on how to get the most out of Zometool in the classroom.

Literature: Zometool lesson plans are available free as a download from this website or purchasable in printed form. A learning DVD is available as well as various books covering a wide range of science and math application.

(Coming Soon) Bundles: Multiple kits grouped together or a kit and literature grouped together as a bundle. Bundles group together like themed products and are offered at a cost less than that of purchasing each item separately.
