Mathseeds

1. Who developed Mathseeds?

The Mathseeds porgrams have been developed by a highly experienced team of teachers, educational writers, animators and web developers. We completely support what children learn at school and will help to improve your child’s results.

2. For what age group is Mathseeds suitable?

Mathseeds is designed for children aged 3-9.

3. How do I purchase an online subscription to Mathseeds?

Contact customer service to purchase a subscription to Mathseeds.

4. Will my child’s progress be retained when I purchase a subscription?

Your child’s progress will be retained when you purchase an online subscription. To retain the progress you need to ensure that you are logged in to your account which has the progress you wish to retain. If you are purchasing over the phone you need to advise the customer service team that you are extending an existing account.

5. What is an avatar?

An avatar is an online character that children can make their own. Every child is unique and they can express this by creating their own online character, their avatar. This quirky egg-based character welcomes them back every time they return. This avatar is their very own creation and children can change this character as often as they like.

6. How can I change my avatar’s appearance?

To change an avatar’s appearance, you simply need to log in to your account and navigate to the ‘My Stuff’ tab, from here select ‘My Avatar’. You will be able to select a variety of items in the change room. You have lots of free items to choose from as well as extra accessories you can buy from Reggie’s Shop. To pay for these you will need ‘golden eggs’, which you earn by completing lessons and puzzles. You need to visit the shop and buy these items before you go to the change room.
