In this book
The Mathseeds program teaches children the core math and
problem solving skills needed to be successful at school.
Each online lesson begins by introducing and modeling a
mathematical concept. The child then completes a wide range
of activities to practice the new skill. These activities present
the content in many different ways, so children learn to use and
apply each new skill in a variety of situations.
This book is designed to supplement the online program with
more exercises in the core mathematical concepts. Each unit
focuses on a topic within the main learning strand, presenting a
series of pen and paper activities, word problems, puzzles, and
games to practice their skills and understanding.
