Get Your Math Education Questions Answered

In the final weeks of summer vacation, families start making plans for the next school year. If math class is/was a concern, please make time to speak with us at Mathnasium of Parker, today. If you are a current Mathnasium member, you may wonder, “Was the math my child did over the summer enough?” Again, we highly recommend taking time to meet with us. During the meeting, we will share your child’s progress from the summer and help create a path for the school year.

If you are not a current Mathnasium family, we will talk with you about your child’s experience and feelings about math. We will also suggest a Free diagnostic math assessment for your child, and will recommend a course of action based on the assessment results combined with your goals for your child's math education.

In the meantime, we have compiled a list of common questions and concerns we get from families and have included the links to some articles to help you answer them.
