 Dear Educator,
As an educational publisher for nearly 30 years, I know that young children love to learn. Everything we do
here at Blake eLearning is based on the belief that we need to foster and develop every child’s early love of
learning. Our passion is to make learning an enjoyable and unforgettable experience for young children.
The Reading Eggs and Mathseeds programs motivate students to stay on task longer and complete a
greater number of activities. This ensures that the skills children learn will be retained for the long term.
Learning should be an enjoyable and satisfying experience where achievements are recognised and
rewarded. This is why we developed Reading Eggs—so as many children as possible could improve their
reading skills in a way that is fun and truly motivating. Since its release in 2008, the Reading Eggs program
has grown to be an integral part of how children learn to read in many schools across Australia and the
world.
Mathseeds is built around the same core idea—to make learning interesting, enjoyable, and rewarding so
children will learn more, achieve more and retain their love of learning. The Mathseeds program is packed
full of wonderful lessons, activities, songs and rewards. At the same time, it is educationally rigorous and
covers all the key concept areas in a rich and deep way. I have seen the joy that young learners experience
when they truly understand a new concept. They’re immersed in learning, fully engaged and eager to keep
working.
Real learning, real maths, really fun! That’s our motto, and when you try Mathseeds you will see that we
really deliver on this promise.

 Scope and Sequence
Mathseeds Foundation: Lesson 1–50
Students learn fundamental number skills including number recognition,
number words and counting. Students learn to count forwards and
backwards to twenty with confidence. They use a range of techniques
including ten frames and number lines. They also learn the number words up
to twenty. Students learn to add to ten and their doubles facts to double five.
Students learn the four basic 2D shapes: circle, square, triangle and rectangle.

short, tall etc. Lessons cover the concepts of more time and less time, life
cycles and days of the week. Students develop their understanding of
2D shapes by sorting them according to their properties. They are also
introduced to the 3D shapes: sphere, cube, cone and cylinder.

Mathseeds Year 3: Lesson 151–200
Students learn to count to 10 000, using place value to order numbers.
They explore number patterns created by adding and subtracting, including
the Fibonacci Sequence. Students begin to learn the times tables, aiming
to know all products of two single-digit numbers by the end of year 3. They
also learn about the parts of a fraction and explore how fractions relate to
each other.
Students investigate symmetry and area in 2D shapes and in real world
contexts. They measure liquids in litres and millilitres, time in minutes, and
mass in grams and kilograms. They recognise notes and coins, and find
equivalent amounts of money and correct change.
