Homeschooling with Magrid
Magrid is a research-based learning program that helps children build strong foundations in maths and cognitive skills through short, visual activities. Designed for independent use and flexible learning, Magrid fits naturally into a wide range of homeschooling approaches, whether you follow a structured curriculum or a flexible, child-led model.
What is Magrid?
Magrid is a visual, language-free learning app designed for children aged 4–8+,
and also widely used by older children with diverse learning needs.
Children learn math and thinking skills through:
- Interactive, visual activities
- Step-by-step progression
- Independent exploration
Magrid does not rely on reading or verbal instruction, so children can focus
on understanding concepts directly, rather than following explanations.
A strong foundation for learning
Magrid supports early learning through two key areas: cognitive skills and early maths.
Cognitive skills
Children develop the thinking skills that underpin all learning:
- Pattern recognition and logical thinking
- Visual understanding and spatial awareness
- Working memory and attention
- Problem-solving skills
These skills support success not only in maths, but also in reading, writing, and broader learning.
Early mathematics skills
Magrid introduces numbers in a visual and intuitive way.
Children learn to:
- Recognise and understand numbers
- Count and compare quantities
- Build number sequences
- Understand “more”, “less”, and equal
- Explore early addition through visual grouping
This helps children develop real understanding, rather than relying on memorisation.
Flexible for different homeschooling styles
Magrid can be used in a way that suits your approach to homeschooling.
It works well as:
- A core daily learning activity
Short, consistent sessions to build foundational skills - A maths support tool
Reinforcing concepts alongside your chosen curriculum - An independent learning activity
Allowing children to learn while you work with other children - A confidence-building tool
Helping children who need more time, repetition, or a different approach
Because each child progresses at their own level, Magrid adapts naturally to mixed-age learning environments.
Easy to set up
Getting started with Magrid is quick and simple:
- Download the app on iOS, Android, or Microsoft devices
- Create a profile for each child
- Children start learning by tapping their name or avatar
This makes it easy to integrate into your daily homeschool routine without adding complexity.
Supporting independent learning
Magrid is designed so children can learn on their own, with confidence.
- Clear, visual tasks guide learning
- No reading or instructions required
- Immediate feedback supports understanding
- Children progress at their own pace
- Built-in tutorials and interactive help
This allows children to take ownership of their learning, while giving you time to support other areas.
Stay informed and track progress
Magrid provides clear insight into how your child is progressing.
Through the app and parent dashboard, you can:
- Track activities completed
- See time spent learning
- Monitor progress across key skills
- View assessment results
This helps you understand how your child is developing and ensures they are on track.
A calm and purposeful learning experience
Magrid is designed to support focus and reduce overwhelm.
- Clean, distraction-free design
- No ads or pop-ups
- Short, structured activities
- Balanced use of sound and feedback
Most children benefit from 10–15 minutes per day, making Magrid a focused and effective part of your homeschool routine.
Inclusive and suitable for all learners
Magrid supports a wide range of learners, including children who:
- Are just beginning their learning journey
- Need a more visual or structured approach
- Benefit from repetition and independent practice
- Are learning in multiple languages
- Have additional learning needs
Each child follows their own path, making it suitable for diverse learning needs within the same household.
Backed by research
Magrid is built on research in child development, cognitive science, and early mathematics learning.
Studies show that children using Magrid can improve their maths and thinking skills by up to 70% (studies across Europe, 2015–2021).
Research also shows that learners can achieve the same outcomes regardless of their home language (multilingual classroom study, Luxembourg).
A simple, effective tool for homeschooling
Magrid provides a structured, flexible, and easy-to-use way to support your child’s learning at home.
Whether used as part of your core routine or alongside other resources, it helps children build confidence, develop strong foundations, and make meaningful progress over time.
