As educators, finding easy-to-integrate online learning solutions that also deliver tangible results can be a challenge.
Here, we bring you a success story from 10th and Green Elementary School in Pennsylvania.
Retired Principal Susan Lozada shares how Mathseeds, our online math program for pre-K to grade 3, became a powerful force in increasing student engagement and accelerating growth with minimal disruption.
Challenges and solutions: A seamless integration
Adding an online math learning tool without disrupting the classroom flow was a key priority for 10th and Green Elementary.
Mathseeds emerged as the solution with Susan noting:
“I had high confidence in the program and felt that most of the training was intuitive and would be an easy turnaround with students.”
Integrating Mathseeds at 10th and Green was a breeze, thanks to their existing experience with Reading Eggs, our complementary platform for reading.
Just as Reading Eggs empowers schools with engaging and personalized reading instruction, Mathseeds takes on the challenge of math with a similar user-friendly interface and seamless integration.
This familiar territory instilled confidence in teachers and minimized the anxieties that often come with implementing new programs.
“Adding Mathseeds brought a level of confidence we usually don’t see because teachers felt confident they could integrate it into their everyday programming much faster than any other program we could have brought in.”
Engagement unleashed: Mathseeds in action
Susan Lozada reflects on the engagement Mathseeds inspires, stating:
“Students don’t see Mathseeds as ‘work’ or a task, instead they see it as a fun activity.”
The program became part of their daily routine, with students eagerly participating in the highly engaging lessons that also offer exciting rewards.
Susan notes:
“When teachers review their work, students are almost surprised they’re actually learning something!”
The blend of game-like activities and explicit, adaptable lessons ensure a program that’s not only fun and student-friendly but also highly personalized.

“Mathseeds provides data that that allows us to pinpoint what the gap skills are, so we can make decisions for students to accelerate their growth.”
A trusted partnership: Reliability amid challenges
Throughout the many disruptions over the past few years, Mathseeds stood strong at 10th and Green Elementary.
Susan expresses confidence in the program, sharing:
