THE MATHNASIUM METHOD™
![]() |
The Mathnasium Method was developed by Larry Martinek over the course of his 35-year teaching and educational consulting career. As he taught in environments ranging from poorly-performing inner city schools to acclaimed magnet schools, Larry identified a disconnect that seemed to be present throughout: children were not learning the basic math concepts they needed to master lessons they would encounter in the years to come. With the help of his son Nic, Larry decided that it made more sense to find a better way to teach children math the first time around than it did to focus on remediating them in middle and high school. This objective—to teach kids math in a way that made sense to them—is the foundation of the Mathnasium Method, Larry's life's work. Today, Mathnasium franchisees and instructors all over the world use Larry's method to help kids. Larry continues to oversee all aspects of Mathnasium's curriculum development, creating new materials regularly and training the next generation of Mathnasium educators. |
