 In this book
The Mathseeds program teaches children the core maths and
problem solving skills needed to be successful at school.

Each online lesson begins by introducing and modelling a mathematical

concept. The child then completes a wide range of activities where
they practise the new skill. 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.

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 practise their
skills and understanding.

The topics in this book align with the following components of the
Australian Curriculum:

Australian Curriculum content codes and descriptions

ACMNA029 Recognise and represent multiplication as repeated
addition, groups and arrays

ACMNA032 Recognise and represent division as grouping into equal

sets and solve simple problems using these representations
