Get Fit and Strong at the Mathnasium Math Gymnasium

Dec 3, 2016 | Parker

Where do you go strengthen your body? You go to the gym to workout your muscles. Our bodies thrive when they are used and they atrophy when they are not used. Our brains are no different. The more we “exercise” our brain, the smarter we get. A person’s strength in math, or in weightlifting, has more to do with how often they work out than their natural abilities.

It is not just a coincidence that the name “Mathnasium” rhymes with “gymnasium.” Our center is based on the same philosophy of exercising the brain, like exercising the muscles. Mathnasium instructors teach math in the same way personal trainers teach fitness techniques. We start with a warm-up to rev up the brain, like a runner stretching and taking a slow pace around the track. After the warm-up, students progress to their lesson tailored to meet their specific needs. This is like main part of the workout and where most of the improvement happens. If the workout is too hard we scale back the difficulty, if it’s too easy we increase the difficulty just a little. Finally the students review their progress again with an instructor. This is like a runner’s cool down period.

Go into a gym and you will find people on different paths and different stages of their fitness journey. Some are fit, but many are out of shape, weak, or recovering from an injury. No matter where they are on the path, they are all there to get some exercise and improve the functioning of their bodies. Come into a Mathnasium and you will discover the same diversity. Some students are as young as 6 and some are in high school.  Some are doing math several grade levels above their grade in school and some are doing math several grade levels below but they are all there to get some brain exercise and improve their understanding of math.  

As Dr. Wayne Dyer, author and speaker on self-development and spiritual growth stated, “My goal is not to be better than anyone else, but to be better than I used to be.”

Come see how strong your kid can be at Mathnasium!
