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.
very professional and helpful place. All tutors are great and Josh the main person / teacher in charge is caring and knowledgeable. My child is with Mathnasium Clair for about 6 years now and there have been many instances when the class was arranged at a short notice because of exams.
Mathnasium made a huge difference for our child. Her grades improved significantly, but most importantly her confidence is way up. She’s proud of her accomplishments and now likes math.
The instructors are mindful of each student’s needs, and they do their best to support all the students with passion and compassion. My son loves it and that is very important to me.
My 8-year old son just loves Mathnasium and all the wonderful educators and staff!! He asks to go everyday and looks forward to it every time he goes. A tremendous confidence boost this been for him as he now looks forward to all math learning. I recommend this program for anyone looking to work on or get further ahead in math learning.
Mathnasium has been a great experience for my son in grade 2. He has made a lot of gains in his skills and even better, in his confidence too. Even his classroom teachers are noticing the difference! The staff at Mathnasium Richmond Hill are so wonderful and supportive!
Our son Ethan who’s now 11 yrs old has been with Mathnasium in New Westminster for 4 yrs and we’re so proud of what he has learned over that time. Great place to learn math!
I highly recommend Mathnasium. My son loves it. All the staff are super friendly & supportive making it a safe place were kids & young adults can enjoy learning Math 👌
