New Stationery Solutions for Teachers: "mieru!" and "tsuzuru!"

In response to the increasing workload of educators, particularly in Japan, the educational product brand +teacher, operated by tasu Co., Ltd. in Sanda City, Hyogo Prefecture, is rolling out two innovative study aids: "measuring sticky notes, mieru!" and "composition sticky notes, tsuzuru!" These products will officially become available for purchase on May 25, 2026, through the +teacher online store and Smart School platform.



With teachers facing mounting pressures and the demanding nature of their responsibilities, particularly in preparing lessons, assessing student work, and providing individual guidance, there is a pressing need for effective solutions. +teacher’s aim has been to design tools that can minimize the anxiety and time constraints teachers encounter in their daily tasks.

The launch of these new sticky notes takes root from feedback received by +teacher. Previously, the brand developed 'grid sticky notes, Kaketa!', as teachers often expressed the need for more space to write down essentials during instruction. This product quickly gained popularity, with many educators praising its usefulness and design. Its success even earned it a prestigious design award at the 32nd Japan Stationery Awards.

The new sticky notes aim to address specific challenges in the classroom. Educators reported that preparing measurement guides from scratch was overly time-consuming, and when red marks covered a student’s draft paper, it severely affected their confidence. By focusing on themes such as ease of use, clarity, and the ability for children to engage with the task, +teacher designed "mieru!" and "tsuzuru!" to be immediately applicable in educational settings.
