"Lightbulb!"
"Aha!"
"I got it!"
"It clicked!"
"Eureka!"
These are what parents everywhere want to hear their kids say.
"Aha!" moments indicate that the student understands a concept, sometimes, after lots of effort. Your child's face might light up, or you might even see a huge grin appear. Underneath, the brain is also celebrating and makes physical changes.
In a recent article from Medical News Today, we learn that during an "Aha" moment, the nucleus accumbens becomes particularly active in the basal forebrain, triggering a dopamine release. This process gives the student a feeling of intense joy and relief.
Math tutors agree that "Aha!'' moments improve self-confidence in your math student. And when self-confidence increases, so do results!
Mathnasium of Tri Cities specializes in creating "Aha" moments. Here's how:
The results of our Mathnasium Method are hard-won "Aha!" moments and a deeper understanding of math. Larry Martinek, the creator of the Mathnasium Method, sums it up like this:
“It's pretty easy to forget things you memorize and near impossible to forget things you understand.”
Parents are noticing too: "My son has had a fantastic experience at Mathnasium. His grade in math has improved significantly and his confidence and motivation has soared." -A.S.
