 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 practice their
skills and understanding.

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

Australian Curriculum content codes and descriptions

ACMMG042 Describe and draw two-dimensional shapes, with and
without digital technologies

ACMMG043 Describe the features of three-dimensional objects

ACMMG045 Investigate the effect of one-step slides and flips with

and without digital technologies

ACMMG046 Identify and describe half and quarter turns
