Mathnasium of Greensboro: Why Math Should Be Celebrated

Q1: How does your center make math fun and engaging for students?

A1: We show our students that we are excited about teaching math; we play and teach games to build foundational or repetitive skills; we get student input for prizes and topics they want to learn; we use gentle correction; we make the work appropriately challenging, and we celebrate small wins.

Q2: What does Pi Day mean to your students and instructors?

A2: Pi Day is a day we look forward to each year! We have special Pi Day hands-on activities that culminate with each student getting their own personal pie!

Q3: How do celebrations help students feel more confident in math?

A4: We use math skills all the time in everyday life, from buying groceries to baking, to party planning to building things, and more! Making math enjoyable removes anxiety and builds confidence!
