WHAT IS THE SUMMER SLIDE?
The Summer Slide is the phenomenon where students can lose up to 2.6 months of academic progress because they academically disengage over summer.
HOW CAN MATHNASIUM HELP?
CATCH UP
Every student begins their time at Mathnasium we an assessment to pinpoint exactly where they are at in math. If you could benefit from backtracking to skills from an earlier grade-level to fill in some foundational gaps, summer is the perfect time to do so! Our curriculum is designed to break habits like finger counting, teach skills like multiplication facts, and prepare kids for future classes like algebra in a way that makes sense to kids!
KEEP UP
A Johns Hopkins study reveals that most kids lose 2-3 months of critical thinking skills over the summer. While this Summer Learning Loss has been shown to affect all areas, math skills are the hardest hit. Students typically don’t get the repetition needed to really master and retain the skills being covered in class. So, any break from math will degrade their learning progress.
GET AHEAD
While many kids are looking to catch up over the summer, there are also those advanced students who are wanting to push forward and get ahead. With over 95% of the highest paying jobs straight out of college being in STEM fields, competition for college entry and scholarships is more competitive than it has ever been. While these four STEM fields are very different, they all derive their basic foundations from Math.

SPECIAL SUMMER 2019 STEM PROGRAM BOOSTER
KOOV By Sony
This summer, Mathnasium of La Jolla will be offering a new STEAM program booster to add to your student’s fun. Actively enrolled Mathnasium students can add-on a package of 16 or 21 2-hour KOOV sessions to their Mathnasium program.
KOOV is a coding and robotics kit developed by Sony. Students assemble LEGO-like pieces into different robots (Sony has over 50 recipes kids can follow to make their favorite animals and automobiles) and then use drag and drop code (similar to Scratch by MIT) to make their creations move.
