For decades the Mathnasium Method™ has transformed the way kids learn math. We build a foundation for math mastery through deep understanding by starting with what they already know, addressing any learning gaps, expanding their mathematical thinking, and adding new concepts in sequence.
This proprietary method works for kids of all ages and skill levels, whether they’re struggling in math, doing okay but could be doing better, or are already excelling but need more of a challenge. When kids see what they can achieve because of their proficiency in math, it can alter the course of their entire lives.
We take our students on a journey of learning, through assessment, customized learning paths and targeted lessons for understanding and comprehension.
We begin with a comprehensive assessment, which includes both a verbal and written component, to pinpoint their exact strengths and weaknesses.
This plan is created for each child based on their assessment, so they will truly learn and grow in their mathematical thinking.
Our expert instructors don’t just teach students to memorize or calculate; they teach them to truly understand the way math works.
This is the key to success in math—the understanding of what numbers mean and how they work together. And Number Sense isn't just for young kids. We work on these topics through the levels shown below before moving on to other higher math disciplines.
Counting
Counting is the key to unlocking addition and subtraction in early math development. At Mathnasium, our initial goal is to have a student become comfortable with counting to any number, from any number, by any number, forward and backward.
Wholes And Parts
As students begin to understand the relationship between a whole and the parts, a world of mathematical concepts and exercises can be explored. Once students have mastered these skills, they have little trouble with algebraic problem-solving.
Quantity and Denomination
The quantity and denomination construct examine two aspects of numerical value. Quantity asks “how many” and denomination asks “of what.”
Proportional Thinking
Proportional thinking establishes a fundamental base that leads to a stronger understanding of critical concepts like ratios, direct and indirect variation, and algebraic reasoning.
The Law of SAMEness
The Law of SAMEness is a concept students naturally apply in their reasoning without being aware of it. For example, quantities of apples and bananas cannot be added together unless first being changed so that they have the same name, which is fruit.

Mathnasium students make tremendous strides in comprehension, confidence, and grades.
In Mathnasium, my child has found a positive and encouraging group of students and instructors - all working together on a common goal. Approaching weaknesses with support and care, rather than embarrassment and shame, is a proven theory and has helped bring back my child's confidence in the classroom, and in life.
Mathnasium has been a great experience for both My daughters Melak and Elaine. The instructors are encouraging and knowledgeable, and we’ve seen great progress in their math skills and confidence. Highly recommended!
My girls have been attending Mathnasium for several years, and the experience has been fantastic. They look forward to the fun, welcoming atmosphere each time, and they take so much pride in bringing in their math tests to earn free spins. It’s been wonderful watching their confidence grow.
I could not be happier with the team at Mathnasium. My daughter has been attending sessions for just over a year. Her math grades have significantly improved. What’s more incredible to see, is the increased confidence she has now, not just in math, but in all areas of her academics.
My son loves coming to Mathnasium. All the instructors are doing a great job in teaching and keeping him interested in learning math. The award program here is also a great incentive for him to stay motivated.
Both my daughters attend Mathnasium, and they have learned so much! Thanks to Alberto and staff, they take their time, and they go over the work until it’s understood! I highly recommend this place especially if your child is struggling in math.
We are so happy with the progress our child has made since starting at Magnesium. Not only have we seen a huge improvement in math, but his overall confidence and other skills have flourished as well. The consistent support from the team has made a world of difference, and we’re truly grateful for their dedication. Thank you, Magnesium team!
Mathnasium of LaSalle offers personalized math support that truly works. The instructors are kind, knowledgeable, and great with kids. My child enjoys going and has made noticeable progress in understanding difficult concepts. Scheduling is flexible, and the centre feels welcoming and encouraging — a great environment to grow math skills!
My son was struggling with a learning difference in math as well as catching up, post-pandemic. Mathnasium has helped him make huge strides in math. More than that, once he became more confident in math, he has felt more confident overall at school. We can't thank the folks at mathnaisum enough for that.
Rania & her team is incredible. We are so glad that our daughter enrolled in their math program. We have seen a huge difference in her academically. Although we have moved out of the area, we are continuing to keep her enrolled with them via virtual tutoring.
