  • I liked how your presentation shows the progression of the platonic solids and other 3D solids that can be made as well as the connections you made between the math, art, science, and history. Thank you.

  • Having run various enrichment workshops for the gifted, it was evident that students thoroughly enjoyed working with Geometro and exploring 3D geometry. These hands on learning materials motivated the students to further explore math concepts and math origins.

  • I have used Dr. Skowron's geometric shapes a number of times in my Grade 4 and 5 classes. Math manipulatives are very powerful learning component in the Ontario math curriculum and these items contributed to building high interest in Math, self-motivation, self-direction and solid learning in the children.

  • As a classroom teacher who has worked with Aniceta Skowron on several occasions to promote interest and curiosity in Science, I highly recommend the Geometro program and activities available to classroom teachers and their students.

  • I attended your workshop at the American Montessori Conference in Boston. This was a very exciting and mind challenging workshop.

  • This manipulative and visual set of materials follows the children's need of learning through their hands and senses. The students are able to experience the exploration and the creation of various geometric solids. 3-dimensional geometry can be quite abstract when represented on paper. This see-through set of materials allows better examination and understanding of the solids, their symmetries and characteristics.

  • As a math consultant for the Iowa Statewide Vision Services, I have found the Geometro products to be invaluable to our students with visual impairments. They find it so much easier to understand the concepts of 3-dimensional geometry and many Geometry teachers are excited about how it helps all of their students, not just the ones with visual impairments.

  • Taking your workshop with Geometro was absolutely wonderful!  It gave me another perspective to look at when teaching the visually impaired and it gave me new ideas and ways to teach them concepts that are very difficult for them to grasp.

  • Your sequential approach seemed to model the importance of the approach we would employ with our students and children.  Geometro manipulatives are a natural fit for blind and low vision students .

  • The ability to create 3D shapes from cubes to dodecahedrons is at your fingertips. I highly recommend attending workshop anytime it is offered in your area.

  • I have discovered that the Geometro is great for all students. Now you can have a visually impaired student working beside a sighted student. The kit makes learning two and three dimensional shapes fun and much easier.

  • ... I REALLY think your velcro manipulatives are fantastic!! I've attached a slide from one of my recent PowerPoints showing off several of my students enjoying them - look at those smiles!
