Making Math Fun at Mathnasium of Niskayuna

At Mathnasium, we firmly believe that math isn't just a subject to be studied; it's an adventure to be enjoyed. Our foundation rests on the idea that math is essential and fun! But how do we turn this belief into reality for our students? Let's explore how we make math enjoyable and engaging at our centers.

Games & Manipulatives: The Fun Tools of Learning: Who said games are just for playtime? At Mathnasium, games like Connect 4, Battleship, Mastermind, and Chess are more than just games; they're tools that sharpen critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Additionally, we use manipulatives such as coins, cards, dice, and dominoes to make tactile learning an integral part of our teaching process. These hands-on tools make abstract math concepts tangible and enjoyable.

Rewards: Celebrating Every Achievement: Every child loves rewards, and we've incorporated this love into our teaching methodology. Our unique in-center rewards system motivates students to delve deeper into their curriculum. Every effort is recognized and celebrated, from small tokens of appreciation to big prizes. And the thrill of spinning the prize wheel? It's the cherry on top!

Math Activities: Celebrating Math Every Day: Whether it's the much-awaited Pi Day or any other day, we always have a math activity up our sleeve. These activities are fun and provide a deeper understanding and appreciation of math.

A Vibrant Learning Environment: A positive environment can make a difference in a child's learning journey. Our centers are designed to be lively and playful. From colorful wall art and engaging learning materials to our brand mascots, Ace and Addie, everything is curated to make math fun and relatable.

Special Days: Making Every Day Count: Math Nights, Family Game Days, and other special events are a testament to our commitment to making math a delightful experience. These events allow families to bond over math and witness its magic together.

Mathnasium: More Than Just a Name: The name 'Mathnasium' encapsulates our philosophy. Just as physical workouts are crucial for physical health, mental workouts like math exercises are vital for cognitive development. Over the past two decades, we've been fortunate to witness the transformative power of our approach, with over a million parents placing their trust in us.
