Magrid Curriculum
A skills-based learning framework that aligns with curricula worldwide
Magrid is built on principles of cognitive development and early learning, rather than a single national or state curriculum.
This skills-based approach allows Magrid to align naturally with early years and primary mathematics curricula across different countries, school systems, and educational contexts.
Magrid is curriculum-agnostic by design
Magrid supports and reinforces curriculum goals without requiring changes to existing teaching programs or structures.
While curriculum frameworks may differ in structure, terminology, or sequencing, the developmental pathways children follow when learning mathematics and problem solving are highly consistent. Magrid is built on these shared foundations, making it adaptable, flexible, and easy to integrate into any classroom.
A structured framework with clear progression
At the heart of Magrid is a carefully designed skills framework that organises learning into clear domains and progressive levels.
Activities are sequenced from simple, concrete visual tasks to more complex reasoning challenges, allowing children to build understanding step by step.
Across the program, skills progress through:
- increasing complexity of tasks and concepts
- broader number ranges and representations
- greater independence in problem-solving and reasoning
This structured progression functions similarly to a scope and sequence, while remaining flexible enough to meet each learner at their individual level.
Mathematics learning in Magrid
Magrid desarrolla el core mathematical foundations that underpin early years and primary curricula.
Across different stages, numerical learning in Magrid includes:
- quantity recognition and counting
- number recognition and matching
- ordinality and number sequencing
- comparing quantities and numbers
- early addition and subtraction using concrete, visual representations
- skip counting and equal grouping as precursors to later operations
Magrid’s numerical content has been mapped to multiple curriculum frameworks, including:
- Common Core Mathematics (NYS Pre-K, Kindergarten and Grade 1)
- UK Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and Key Stage 1
- National early years frameworks in Luxembourg, France, India, Rwanda, Australia and more
These mappings ensure that Magrid aligns with recognised learning standards while maintaining its flexible, skills-based approach.
As Magrid is language-neutral and highly visual, learners engage directly with mathematical ideas without relying on written instructions or verbal explanations. This supports deeper conceptual understanding rather than rote learning.
Cognitive skills beyond standard curricula
In addition to mathematical learning, Magrid develops the cognitive skills that underpin learning across all subjects.
Entre ellos se incluyen:
- percepción visual
- working memory and sustained attention
- spatial reasoning (including mental rotation and folding)
- pattern recognition
- coordinación mano-ojo
These skills are essential for success in mathematics, literacy, and STEM, yet are often only indirectly addressed in traditional curricula.
By explicitly developing these abilities, Magrid strengthens the foundations that enable long-term learning success across subjects.
Supporting curriculum implementation in schools
Magrid is designed to work alongside existing curriculum frameworks, supporting teaching, planning, and reporting without adding complexity.
To support this, Magrid provides:
- curriculum alignment documents linking skills to specific frameworks
- a detailed skills guide outlining competencies, progression, and activities
- teacher guidance on effective classroom implementation
These resources help educators:
- understand what skills learners are developing
- connect Magrid learning to classroom objectives
- document progress for reporting and accountability
If your curriculum framework is not already mapped, the Magrid team can provide a custom alignment, ensuring the program fits seamlessly into your local context.
A flexible approach that works with any curriculum
Magrid’s curriculum approach is intentionally global, adaptable, and future-focused.
By aligning with how children learn, rather than a single set of standards, it provides a flexible solution that works across countries, systems, and learner profiles.
This ensures Magrid supports both curriculum alignment and long-term learning outcomes, without limiting how or where it can be used.
