How does the ABC Mathseeds program work?
The ABC Mathseeds system of core maths lessons is a sequential program where all students begin at the right level and improve their maths performance as they progress through our curriculum-based continuum.
Progressive lesson sequence tailored to each student’s ability level
- 190 sequential lessons from kindergarten to year 3 ensure students make progress at every single ABC Mathseeds session.
- 50 big lessons at each year level cover all domains: number, operations, algebra, geometry, measurement and data.
- Students begin at a level that matches their ability level.
How does an ABC Mathseeds lesson work?
- Lessons begin with child-friendly, step-by-step instruction.
- Students complete guided practice activities and then move on to independent practice and skill development.
- Students develop critical thinking and problem solving skills.
How do students make progress?
- Activities are designed to engage students and are created to prevent guessing, as children need to get most questions correct before they can move on.
- Students are motivated to complete lessons and move forward.
- They are excited to make progress and to move on to a new map.
What about assessment?
- The end–of–map quiz tests students’ knowledge of the previous five lessons. Students have to do well on this quiz to move on to the next map.
- ABC Mathseeds Driving Tests assess skills in six core areas across each year level. These tests assess student progress, and class reports show student strengths and weaknesses.
- Use ABC Mathseeds' printable tests to check student growth with domain-specific written tests for all standards.
ABC Mathseeds works because students are engaged and motivated to succeed as they master essential standards-based skills.
