Magrid is an inclusive, research-based learning application designed to support children in developing core cognitive abilities such as executive function. With over 3,000 interactive activities, Magrid gives children structured opportunities to practice planning, organizing, and self-regulating while learning math in an engaging and accessible way.

Magrid benefits both neurotypical children and those with special educational needs. For children with ADHD, autism, or other learning differences, executive function is often a key area of difficulty that directly affects academic progress and everyday life. Magrid’s intuitive, language-free design provides targeted practice in these crucial skills while also building confidence.

The program is sensory-friendly and self-paced, allowing children aged 3–7, and students with additional needs up to age 12, to engage independently and effectively.

Executive function is the set of mental skills that help children plan, prioritize, manage time, and regulate their behavior. These skills act like the brain’s “control system,” guiding decision-making and problem-solving.

When executive function is weak, children may struggle with impulse control, find it difficult to follow through on instructions, or feel overwhelmed by tasks that require organization and sequencing. These challenges can impact math learning, reading comprehension, and classroom participation.

Strong executive function supports independence, flexibility, and resilience, making it a cornerstone of both academic success and everyday life skills.

Magrid is designed to embed executive function practice into meaningful math activities. By requiring children to plan ahead, make choices, and monitor their performance, the app encourages growth in these critical cognitive skills.

Here’s how Magrid supports executive function:

• Gradual, developmentally appropriate progression – Tasks begin with simple one- or two-step activities and gradually increase in complexity, scaffolding children’s learning with supportive tutorials that build confidence as skills advance.
• Planning and sequencing – Activities often require children to follow steps in order, training the ability to think ahead and stay organized.
• Impulse control and self-regulation – Children learn to slow down, check their responses, and persist even when tasks feel challenging.
• Prioritization and decision-making – Exercises present multiple possibilities, encouraging children to evaluate options and choose the most effective solution.

• Flexibility in thinking – By varying tasks and requiring different approaches, Magrid strengthens adaptability and problem-solving in new contexts.
