Frequently Asked Questions About Magrid
Magrid is an inclusive, language-free learning platform that supports early mathematics and cognitive skills for children aged 3 to 8+, and older learners with additional needs. It is used by schools, families, special education programs, public institutions and organisations worldwide.
Magrid uses visual, language-neutral activities, so children can learn without reading or verbal instruction. It is grounded in research and designed to support diverse learners through structured, independent learning.
Magrid develops early mathematics and cognitive skills, including problem-solving, working memory, attention, pattern recognition, and logical thinking.
Yes. Magrid is built on over 10 years of research in cognitive science, child development, and early mathematics learning, including multiple international studies led by the University of Luxembourg and partner institutions.
Magrid is designed for early childhood and primary education (approximately ages 3 to 8+), and is also widely used by older learners who benefit from a structured, language-free visual approach.
Learning & Outcomes
No. Magrid is fully language-free, allowing children to begin learning without reading or verbal instruction.
Yes. Magrid is designed for independent use, with clear visual tasks and built-in guidance that allow children to learn without constant supervision.
Many children show increased confidence and engagement within a few sessions. With regular use, measurable skill development builds over time.
Magrid includes a continuous assessment system with pre-, mid-, and post-assessments. These help track progress and support data-informed understanding of each learner’s development.
Parents, teachers, and administrators can view:
- activities completed
- time spent learning
- progression through levels
- development across key skills
Magrid is not a diagnostic tool. However, its structured assessments and progress data can help highlight patterns and areas where a child may need additional support.
Inclusion & Accessibility
Magrid removes common barriers to learning through a visual, language-neutral approach. It is sensory-friendly, with no overstimulation, no gamified rewards, and no penalty for mistakes, so every child can engage directly with the concepts and progress at their own pace.

Magrid is designed to support a wide range of learners, including children with dyscalculia, dyslexia, dysgraphia, ADHD, autism, hearing impairment, developmental delays, and limited literacy. Because it is visual and self-paced, it is also widely used by older learners with special educational needs, beyond the typical early-childhood age range.

Short, regular sessions work best. We recommend about 15 minutes a day, 3 to 4 times a week, up to a maximum of around 1 hour per week. The key is that sessions stay short and consistent: the weekly hour should be spread across several brief sittings, not combined into one or two longer sessions. This mirrors the approach validated in our research, and it aligns with WHO screen-time guidance for young learners.
Training is not required but recommended. We provide onboarding sessions, guidance materials, and ongoing support.
Administrators and educators can access dashboards showing usage, progress, and development across classes, schools, or regions. Dashboards are available in our App and also through the Magrid Panel.
