§ 01 · What is Kay5

Stop buying workbooks. Produce your own branded K-5 practice — identical from every staffer.

Pick a template, set the skill and difficulty, print. Every tutor works from the same library, so every student gets consistent, on-brand practice — answer keys included, fresh problem sets on demand.

Nothing is locked to one sheet. Regenerate for a new set, print a clean copy per student, and reproduce the exact same material next term.

The K-5 engine inside your program

Kay5 covers pre-K through grade 5 — counting to long division, fractions, geometry, phonics. It's the practice-production layer for that range, not a replacement for what you teach older students.

01

Made for educators

Every app is purpose-built for one kind of learning material, with the pedagogy baked in — difficulty levels, grade bands, answer keys.

02

Truly customizable

Fonts, sizes, colors, layouts, difficulty, content — every worksheet comes out exactly how your students need it.

03

Print-ready in minutes

Download as PDF, PNG, JPG or PPTX. US Letter, ready for the copier or the smartboard.

Build your progression once, every tutor pulls from it, every student gets a fresh problem set — one method, reaching every classroom the same way.

How one method reaches every tutor — the shared engine in all 23 apps

1-click regeneration

Refresh any page with a brand-new problem set in seconds.

Whole-book assembly

Clone, shuffle and number pages into complete printable workbooks, in four numbering styles.

One shared editor

The same drag-and-edit worksheet canvas powers all 23 apps.

Automatic answer keys

Solution pages generate alongside every worksheet, always matched — and re-adjust when pages shuffle.

§ 02 · Multi-seat

One method, every seat, every location.

Your program’s method shouldn’t live in one good tutor’s head. Kay5 turns it into shared, branded material every staff member produces the same way — across shifts and locations.

Admin controls

Manage seats and access from one dashboard, and see what your team is producing.

Seat management

Add tutors as staff turns over. Each gets their own login under your org — onboarded in an hour, not a term.

Brand controls

Your logo and colors on every page. Parents see your program’s material, not a generic worksheet.

Shared template library

Save your center’s worksheets and progressions once; every tutor builds from the same set, not from scratch.

  • Star sudoku intersecting grids arranged in a striking star-shaped layout
  • Windoku a 9×9 grid with four extra shaded window regions to satisfy
  • Twodoku two full 9×9 grids sharing an overlapping region that links both puzzles
  • Arrow sudoku arrow paths that must sum to the value in their starting circle
  • Flower sudoku five interlocked grids sharing a central core, arranged like petals
  • Butterfly sudoku four 9×9 grids joined at the corners in a wing-like layout
  • Killer sudoku outlined cages with target sums replace given numbers entirely
What sets it apart
  • Difficulty slider set how dense or minimal the pre-filled numbers are, per puzzle
  • Clone with fresh puzzles duplicate a finished layout and it fills with a brand-new, unique puzzle
