Mathnasium of Arrowhead Demystifies Math Tests: A Parent's Guide to Supporting Their Child's Success

Aug 15, 2024 | Arrowhead

Q: How do you know what kind of math students in your center/re need to be taught?

A:
Our pre-assessment allows us to determine exactly where a student is in their math journey. Whenever a student comes in for this assessment, it allows us to determine which concepts the students already have mastered, and which topics they can focus on here at the center. We build each student's individualized learning plan based on the comprehensive assessment they take, when they come here for the first time.

Q: Why do students need to take tests?

A:
Assessments are key to understanding a student. They give students the opportunity to express the skills they have mastered, as well as, which ones they need help with. Individual tests build students' confidence in working by themselves and strengthening their problem-solving abilities. At Mathnasium, we take the stress out of the tests and turn them into opportunities of academic growth!

Q: Can Mathnasium help students prepare for their tests in math class?

A:
Yes! One of the biggest changes we see here at Mathnasium is the confidence students build regarding math. We understand math can be intimidating, especially tests, which is why the Mathnasium Method was built to dismantle that intimidation and replace it with confidence and self-reassurance.

Q: What about College Placement Tests?

A:
Mathnasium offers ACT and SAT prep all year long. We have specialized learning plans built for ACT/SAT prep students to get them exactly where they need to be by the time testing season comes along. Not only do we prepare them for the test, Mathnasium also caters to that student's specific testing strengths and weaknesses to address when the big day comes along.
