Problem
Many young children struggle with early math concepts due to language barriers, learning differences, or developmental delays, hindering their ability to build a strong foundation in mathematics. Traditional math instruction often relies heavily on language, which can exclude children who are not proficient in the language of instruction or who have language-related learning difficulties.
Solution
Magrid offers a language-free, tablet-based pedagogical program designed to improve early mathematical, visual-spatial, and cognitive abilities in children aged 3-9, and up to 12 for children with special education needs. The program utilizes over 2,500 engaging, interactive activities that focus on developing core skills such as spatial perception, visuomotor integration, counting, and number sequencing. By replacing verbal instructions with visual materials, Magrid makes early math instruction intuitive and accessible to all children, regardless of their language proficiency or learning profile. The program also includes a teacher/parent dashboard to track progress and identify areas for improvement, as well as teacher training and support.
Target Audience
Magrid is designed for preschool and elementary school children, including those with special education needs, learning disabilities, language disorders, or who are learning math in a second language, as well as for teachers, educators, and parents looking for an inclusive and effective early math learning solution.
