Mathseeds

Mathseeds is a web-based math program that provides K–2 students with lessons, practice, and problem-solving activities.

Mathseeds is an interactive online math program for the younger learners in your family. 

What do we like about Mathseeds?

The instructors are entertaining personalities who talk about mathematical concepts and pose provocative queries. Lessons seem more like the cartoons youngsters love to watch on television, with beautiful animal characters and vivid scenery - ideal for retaining the interest of young children. In interactive videos, questions are posed to viewers that they can respond to with a mouse click every few minutes. 

What skills does it improve?

The activities and lecture videos on Mathseed will appeal to children. Every aspect of the programme offers learning opportunities, even the fun reward activities are skill-based.

Through thoughtfully scaffolded presentations and practice exercises, lessons are made to help students understand ideas. However, students who simply click options will eventually select the right response and still receive credit. 

Students who are fast on the click will be recognised when they attempt the end-of-lesson quiz, which requires a score of 70% or above. Good selection of practice and learning options; skill-based reward games. Math topics are drilled home using a fun selection of lessons and games.

What age is it appropriate for?

Mathseeds is appropriate for students in grades K-2.

Is Mathseeds free?

Mathseeds is free to try and is available in all browsers of Windows and Mac.

Is Mathseeds easy to use?

Lessons last long enough to fully cement a concept. These lessons are excellent for learning centres since they may be utilised as a self-guided activity that students review over time.

When students work on their own projects, teachers may want to watch out for any indications of frustration. Some wrong answers are addressed with clues or techniques to guide the student to the right answer, but others are not. There may be no support or guidance available when selecting an inaccurate response in some parts.

How will students benefit?

Each segment contains a variety of activities, such as interacting with graphics, manipulating number lines and tables, and completing word problems using a mentored problem-solving approach. Children receive points for completing sections, which they can exchange for game time or modifications to their amusing acorn avatar. 

How will teachers benefit?

A simple-looking dashboard allows teachers to assign particular lessons and track student progress. Teachers should double-check assignment details before assigning each lesson because once an assignment is created, it cannot be modified; only deleted. Reports have sections for printing motivational certificates as well as data on time spent on tasks, course progress, and quiz scores.

What can Mathseeds improve on?

More kid-friendly support tools are needed; perhaps an adaptive feature might spot when a learner has provided numerous incorrect answers or is clicking quickly (perhaps guessing) and re-loops a tutorial video into their learning path. Roadblocks could be created by portions that lack help options.

How much does it cost?

Mathseeds cost 6.99 Pounds a month.  

Final thoughts

The assignments section contains the results of the end-of-lesson quizzes. When determining who would benefit from some small-group review time before students try again at the lesson, accuracy scores that are displayed are useful.

The Teacher Toolkit includes practical materials for grades K–4, including standards-aligned tests. These assessments are printable and come with a score sheet to aid teachers in monitoring student development. A variety of excellent digital books on arithmetic concepts are available in the Big Books area. When you use the Read To Me feature, even your youngest readers can benefit from a wonderful guided reading experience that simultaneously helps them with their math. 

Lessons on a variety of subjects prepare students for each advancement. A wide spectrum of learners will be reached by a variety of learning and practice methods, but some practice relies on memorization.
