This September, Magrid is rolling out one of its most exciting updates yet — combining a refreshed app design with over 400 brand-new activities designed to support children’s early learning. Whether you’re a teacher or parent, these updates are all about making Magrid easier to use, more visually accessible, and even more engaging for young learners.
Let’s dive into what’s new!
400+ New Activities: Visual–Spatial Reasoning Meets Working Memory
In addition to visual polish, this update brings a major content expansion: over 400 new activities have been added to the Magrid universe! These include fresh challenges across all visual–spatial sub-skills, plus two brand-new tasks focused on working memory — a vital cognitive function for early learners.
New Working Memory Activities
1. Visual Color Memory
Children identify and remember where specific colors appear on screen. This beginner-friendly activity introduces working memory without added distractions.
2. Color Fill Memory
A more advanced challenge where children view a colored diagram briefly, then fill in the correct colors on a blank version. Complexity increases as children progress.
These new tasks complement Magrid’s existing memory-based games, making working memory training more dynamic and inclusive.
Why Working Memory Matters
Working memory is like a child’s mental scratchpad. It allows them to:
✅ Follow multi-step instructions
✅ Solve problems
✅ Retain and apply new information
Strong working memory helps build core skills in Lesen, Mathe, self-regulation, und Fokus — all of which are foundational for long-term learning success.
By strengthening working memory through interactive tasks, Magrid continues to support whole-child development in a way that’s both effective and fun.
How to Access the New Content
Magrid has recently released over 400 new activities, which have been seamlessly integrated across the existing 22 planets of the program. As a result, students will notice that the progress bars of planets they have not yet completed may now appear partially incomplete. We recommend that students return to the beginning of the program to identify which planets need to be revisited in order to access and benefit from the newly added content.
Getting started with these exciting new features is easy:
- Connect your device to the internet
- Open the App Store and update the Magrid app
- Launch the app and explore the new content immediately
If your device has automatic updates enabled, you might already have access to everything — just open Magrid and start exploring!
A Fresh New Look: Improved Design and Navigation for Teachers
Magrid’s latest update introduces a sleeker, more intuitive interface designed to simplify lesson planning and improve classroom flow. Here are the standout enhancements:
Teacher Practice Button
No more workarounds — teachers can now access all lessons and activities directly through a dedicated “Teacher Practice” button.
✅ No need to create an extra student profile
✅ Explore any lesson instantly
✅ Perfect for preparing or reviewing lessons
Smarter Advanced Menu Navigation
We’ve reimagined how teachers browse through lessons. The new advanced menu allows educators to filter and select activities based on specific skills or competencies — making it easier to find exactly what you’re looking for.
Whether you’re targeting visual-spatial skills or numerical skills, navigation is now faster, clearer, and more focused.
Numerical Skills:
‣ Number Recognition
‣ Number Mapping
‣ Quantity Recognition
‣ Number Comparison
‣ Ordinality
‣ Extended Learning (Addition)
Visual Skills:
‣ Visual Perception
‣ Geometry and Patterns
‣ Hand-Auge-Koordination
‣ Working Memory
‣ Mental Folding
‣ Mental Rotation
Clearer Interface for Teachers and Students
To enhance usability and accessibility, we’ve introduced distinct background colours for the teacher dashboard and the student learning environment.
This change helps teachers and students instantly recognise which mode they’re in — reducing confusion and supporting smoother transitions between planning and play.
