Mathnasium's Math Dictionary Inspires Number Sense

Lake Tahoe, CA, April 25, 2007

This week, leading math tutoring franchise Mathnasium Learning Centers unveiled its new Math Dictionary at the company's 2007 National Franchisee Convention. Written by Mathnasium's Chief Instructional Officer Larry Martinek, the Mathnasium Math Dictionary strives to present math concepts with a fresh perspective that makes sense to children.

The dictionary features concise definitions, fun graphics, and words of wisdom from Mathnasium executives, franchise owners, and students. Its in-depth descriptions of number systems, units of measure, the laws of mathematics, and the etymology of mathematical terms make it a well-rounded, versatile resource for math students of all ages and ability levels.

The publication reflects and complements the Mathnasium Method™, Mathnasium's proven teaching methodology. Developed by Martinek throughout his 30- year teaching career in and out of math classrooms, Mathnasium's curriculum provides children with a personalized and prescriptive math tutoring program based on an individual student's assessed strengths and weaknesses.

Mathnasium Math Dictionaries are available exclusively at Mathnasium Learning Centers. To find the center nearest you, or for franchise information, visit www.mathnasium.com.
