Word Problem Wednesday: Frog Alert!
Aug 28, 2019
Rrrribit! Hey math students and math tutors, we have a math problem that is so great it will have you jumping for joy! Math is fun when you can look at a problem from all angles and use your critical thinking skills to figure out the solution.
Practice your elementary math skills such as fractions, distance, multiplication and division with this toad-ally amazing word problem challenge! Take a look at the question and see if you can figure it out. We know you can!
Question: A frog croaks 1 time when a storm is 1 mile (5,280 feet) away. When the storm is half of a mile away, the frog croaks 2 times. When the storm is one-third of a mile away, the frog croaks 3 times. How many feet away is the storm when the frog croaks 5 times?

My daughter struggled in math but ever since she's been attending Mathnaisum I can see she is more comfortable with solving problems, and she is grasping concepts better. She is eager to go to her sessions and likes all the instructors. I would highly recommend Mathnasium to any of my friends and relatives.

Our son was excited about Mathnasium right from the start. He didn’t find the evaluation test daunting or stressful but rather challenging and intriguing. He enjoyed his first complimentary lesson so much that he couldn’t wait to start the program. It is a delight to see him so thrilled and proud to share the new concepts he learns with us. We can’t wait to see the impact Mathnasium has on him as he starts Middle School in August.

When my child was in kindergarten and first grade, she was getting discouraged that she wasn’t learning as quickly as some of her peers as school. She was never behind and was just one of the youngest kids in for her grade. She was doubting herself and was developing a negative association with learning math. She was more comfortable practicing with her Mathnasium tutors than her own parents. After two years, math is now one of her stronger subjects at school and she enjoys completing extra math homework for fun. On her last day of second grade, her teacher announced she was one of a handful of students who aced the last unit test. (It’s ok to use my comments, but I would like to keep my name private.)

I was a math class skeptic. My husband wanted my girls to get extra math so they become confident in their math skills and I could not argue with that, but the kicker was that my girls wanted to take the classes. And then...they LOVED them. Every time we had to take a break b/c of our schedule, the girls would ask to go back.
I love the flexibility of the set up. The teachers are young and relate to my kids. Very professional.

I already recommended Mathnasium to two people who ended up signing up (one at Laurelwood and one in Foster City), because my son Daniel started Mathnasium last year (Oct 2016) and it helped a lot. He had to cover a lot of material at his school because he moved to a school that was one year ahead in math. At first, Daniel was “frozen” from the pressure but the very next week after signing up for Mathnasium his attitude was more relaxed and he started getting >=90% in his tests and though his homework would still take a longer time, he got things done. So, thank you!!! We will continue coming & recommending!

My kids loved mathnasium and my daughter is definitely more confident in math. For my son, the summer program reinforced basic information to make sure he had a solid foundation going into 6th grade. For the summer program it would have been better if there were hours to come in the morning. I felt like only being able to come into the afternoon was very limiting and made it inconvenient to find a time to come. Also, would love to continue with the mathnasium but the price is so expensive for 2 siblings. Other than that, I would highly recommend and I have recommended to several families that have joined.

we've been so happy. the kids math knowledge has improved. scheduling is easy (though it's getting harder and harder to find a time because Mathnasium is so popular). I LOVE the level of feedback I get with assessments. The staff are always available. They even gave us a binder of concepts to work on during our trip abroad. I've recommended you to all the moms I know.

Jadelyn, Yuta, and Tuk have been wonderful leaders at Mathnasium-Laurelwood. They have been nothing but available, approachable, flexible, and accommodating to my family. Jadelyn is open to working out ways to help satisfy whatever the specific needs of my children are at that time. As a parent, I also LOVE how flexible and easy the scheduling is, and how being in Mathnasium does not add to my kids' homework load.
My son, who already has a good grasp on math, has been able to advance beyond his grade level. My daughter, who needed more help, has flourished under Mathnasmium's care. She has excelled in her first year at middle school, and I know a good part of her success in math has to do with Mathnasium. Both of my kids tell me that they have liked all of the instructors they have had there. Of course, they have their favorites, but if those people aren't available, they are completely comfortable going to someone else's group.

I routinely recommend Mathnasium to fellow parents. We have had SUCH A WONDERFUL experience. The administrators and instructors are extremely friendly, accommodating, and knowledgeable. My kids actually enjoy attending class. Moreover, teachers are willing to help with homework and prep the kids for tests. Mathnasium has been such a great asset. We are grateful to be part of the Mathnasium family!

Mathnasium is exactly the place I was looking for to help get my daughter, who hates math, the extra support she needs! What I love the most is that Mathnasium doesn't seek to compete with school curriculum. Mathnasium helps solidify gaps in understanding that schools don't fully address due to the over ambitious curriculum they have set. I also love that kids are rewarded with prizes! What a great way to build a positive association with math!

My daughter is very happy going to Mathnasium. She is learning and understanding what she is doing. She likes the teachers. The opportunity to earn prizes and the raffles keep my daughter highly motivated.
Also, I have had nothing but positive experiences with Jadelyn and Thuc. I am always amazed they have time to answer phone calls, sit with parents for one-on-ones, and teach/evaluate the kids. They never seem rushed or abrupt, and I feel I have their complete attention when we speak.

Mathnasium has been great for my son--he has firmed up his previous math skills and made a ton of progress learning new ones; he's also gotten accustomed to focusing on math problems for extended periods of time and learned not to let mistakes get him down. Thank you for all your help and for being so kind and upbeat that going to Mathnasium is never something to dread!

My sons absolutely love coming there. I'm not sure what your staff does to make math so fun but my boys are athletes not schoarlors and they ask to go every Tuesday and Friday. I'm so glad we found you. My girlfriend and I have 6 boys that attend from grade 1 to 8th and we all go a few times a week and they can't wait to go again. I have had private tutors, group tutors, home tutors and this is the only place they all say in the morning before school drop off. We're going to Mathnasium today right!!!! Thank you

Super easy to schedule sessions
Transparency in checking the growth/progress of the child
Very friendly with children but also in the meantime strict and rigourous team members!
Math made fun to kids!
Ample accommodations to family members who are waiting during sessions
Pleasant books and toys to use during wait time
Sometimes it seems to be a little expensive. It is worth while for sure, but still, for families with one income, it is hard to afford.
Improvements:
Restroom could be a little more clean
But hard to do with so many kids using restroom! :)
