Mathseeds does teach multiplication. It introduces the concept of skip counting by 2s, 5s, and 10s, which is a foundational skill for understanding multiplication. By skip counting, children learn to recognize patterns and understand how numbers can be grouped together.
In Mathseeds, children are provided with various activities and games that help them practice skip counting and build their multiplication skills. For example, they may be asked to count objects in groups of 2, 5, or 10, or to fill in missing numbers in a skip counting sequence.
As children progress in Mathseeds, they are introduced to the concept of multiplication as repeated addition. They learn that multiplication is a way to quickly add equal groups of numbers together. For example, they might see a problem like 3 groups of 4, and learn that it can be represented as 3 x 4 = 12.
Mathseeds also teaches the concept of division, which is closely related to multiplication. Children learn that division is the process of sharing or grouping a quantity equally. They learn to divide objects into equal groups and understand the relationship between multiplication and division. For example, they might learn that 12 ÷ 3 = 4, which means that dividing 12 into 3 equal groups gives 4 in each group.
In addition to multiplication and division, Mathseeds introduces children to the concepts of area and volume. They learn to measure and compare the size of 2D shapes and 3D objects, and understand how to calculate the area of a shape and the volume of an object. These skills are important for later math concepts and real-life applications.
Mathseeds provides a comprehensive and interactive learning experience that helps children develop their multiplication skills and understand the underlying concepts. It engages children through fun activities and games, making math learning enjoyable and accessible.
