How a Mathseeds online maths lesson works

1. Introduce and model the concept

Each lesson begins with an interactive animation, led by one or more of the five key characters. Each new concept is modelled in a way that is both entertaining and educational.

2. The activities

Nine different activities follow on from the main lesson. These activities present the content in many different ways so that children learn to use and apply each new skill in a variety of situations.

3. The book

Each lesson ends with a book that reinforces the lesson concept. These books are an entertaining way to ensure children understand the language of mathematics. Children can read the book independently or listen to the narration.

4. The pet hatches

Children are rewarded for their efforts with a cute pet that hatches from an acorn and becomes part of their online collection. Each pet is unique and children will love watching the funny animation that introduces their new pet.

Motivation and rewards

Children learn best when they are having fun, and Mathseeds aims to make learning maths skills easy and enjoyable for every child.

Children are rewarded with golden acorns on completion of every lesson and activity. These golden acorns can later be spent on a variety of items for their treehouse or personal avatar.

At the end of each map (five lessons), children complete a multiple‑choice quiz to assess what they have learnt. If they pass, they are rewarded with a certificate that can be printed out as a reminder of their success and achievement.
