The Ventura Educational Systems website features educational technology and instructional software for K-12 schools, community colleges and colleges and universities as well as government training facilities. Our recent focus has been on developing iPad apps. We publish and sell products for the elementary, secondary and college/university levels. Our product line of educational technology includes products for math, algebra and geometry, general science, biology and chemistry.

In addition, our math and science software and our apps include logic puzzles and other popular resources for teachers. We think our software provides teachers and students with some very effective learning tools. For example, our math programs are designed to help students learn to value mathematics and to become mathematical problem solvers.

We take a constructivist approach to mathematics and want students to grow confident in their ability to communicate and reason mathematically. We want students to understand science concepts and our science programs help students focus on the essential ideas and key concepts that are required to fully understand the selected topic.

Our products include instructional strategies that combine the use of manipulatives with specialized software tools. An example of this is our highly successful Hands-On Math Series which has been recognized by educators as a very effective tool to help children develop a deep understanding of fundamental math concepts.

Ventura Educational Systems strives to help schools implement educational technology.
