5 Math Myths Debunked by Mathnasium of Downers Grove

Math gets a bad rap sometimes, but at Mathnasium of Downers Grove, we’re busting myths and changing mindsets. Here are five we hear all the time—and how we prove them wrong:

1. “Some kids just aren’t math people.” Nope! Our assessments find every child’s starting point, and our custom plans help them succeed.
2. “Math is boring.” Not here—our rewards and games keep kids engaged and smiling.
3. “You only need math for STEM.” Wrong again—problem-solving skills help in sports, art, and life!
4. “Struggling means failing.” Struggles are just growth opportunities—we turn them into strengths.
5. “Tutoring is one-size-fits-all.” Not at Mathnasium—every plan is unique to your child.

In Downers Grove, we’re helping students from Naperville to Woodridge see math in a new light. Ready to ditch the myths? Call (630) 963-6284 for a free assessment and see how we make math work for your family!
