Mathseeds is a carefully sequenced math program for the
younger learners in your family! With the option of both online and/or workbook
lessons, choose the format that works best for your family—or do them both!
Online Lessons are available through a 12-month
subscription (for up to 4 children) with 200 lessons geared toward ages 3–9. Every
lesson introduces and models a concept, followed by activities, an e-book
reinforcing the concept, and a reward of hatching an e-pet. Children work
through virtual maps of different ecosystems, and the e-pets are animals that
might be found in those areas. A multiple-choice quiz is given after every
5th lesson, which comes with its own rewards. There are 50 lessons per
grade level for K–3, but these could be used whenever your student is ready.
The first 20 lessons at the K level are intended for students with no math
skills, so they could be used for younger students. Lessons 21–50 begin to
develop foundational math skills. The rest of the lessons build upon previously
learned skills in the program, so you’ll want to do them in order. With access,
you will receive lessons, printables (the same as the workbook pages), tracking
of student progress, and a downloadable app for your tablet.
Colorful Workbooks align with online lessons for
those wanting written practice, but they’re also wonderful all on their own!
Each lesson has 4 pages of activities to reinforce learning and a fun quiz with
a certificate after every 5 lessons. There are 3 levels of workbooks available,
each with 50 lessons (K, 1, and 2) that directly correlate with online lessons:
Level K lessons correlate with lessons 1–50 online; Level 1
correlates with lessons 51–100 online; and Level 2 correlates with
lessons 101–150. There is not a print workbook to pair with online lessons 151–200.
