Q: Tell me about a time when having math skills came in handy
A: Math skills have come in handy multiple times in my life. When I worked at an ice cream shop, I used math to calculate change for the customers. I also use math when cooking because sometimes I have to double or half the recipe. - Ava (Instructor)
Q: Tell me about a memory you have of learning math
A: A memory I have of learning math is from third grade, when learning my multiplication facts. We had mini-tests to see who could solve 20 problems the fastest, and I kept finishing a little too late to win. So I studied facts with my mom and finally was able to finish with the fastest time in the class! - Tess (Lead Instructor)
Q: What are some of the benefits of the Mathnasium Method?
A: The Mathnasium Method focuses on the WHOLE student, working to build their confidence, as well as, their math skills. Students learn how to approach new materials with confidence and that will carry over into other areas of life! - Marisa (Assistant Center Director)
Q: What could Mathnasium have helped you with when you were a student?
A: As a student, I would have loved to work more on the mental math skills. Mathnasium makes developing mental math skill so much easier. Most methods I learned as a student were visual and written out, so I relied heavily on those methods growing up. However, they are not as quick or efficient as using mental math. As a whole, my entire education experience (K-12 and college) would have been so much more rewarding had I known earlier in life what I know now thru instructing students on how to incorporate mental math skills. - Cortney (Lead Instructor)
