Our proprietary method allows kids to reach their full potential

For decades the Mathnasium Method™ has transformed the way kids learn math. We build a foundation for math mastery through deep understanding by starting with what they already know, addressing any learning gaps, expanding their mathematical thinking, and adding new concepts in sequence. This proprietary method works for kids of all ages and skill levels, whether they’re struggling in math, doing okay but could be doing better, or are already excelling but need more of a challenge. When kids see what they can achieve because of their proficiency in math, it can alter the course of their entire lives.

The Mathnasium Method™

We take our students on a journey of learning – through assessment, customized learning paths and targeted lessons for understanding and comprehension.

1

Assess Child’s Math Skills

We begin with a comprehensive assessment, which includes both a verbal and written component, to pinpoint their exact strengths and weaknesses.

2

Customized Learning Path

This plan is created for each child based on their assessment, so they will truly learn and grow in their mathematical thinking.

3

Teach for Understanding

Our expert instructors don’t just teach student to memorize or calculate; they teach them to truly understand the way math works.

4

Achieving Our Goals

As students achieve their goals, they are reassessed and move on to new challenges.

BUILDING NUMBER SENSE

This is the key to success in math—the understanding of what numbers mean and how they work together. And Number Sense isn't just for young kids. We work on these topics through the levels shown below before moving on to Algebra and other higher math disciplines.

    Counting

    Counting is the key to unlocking addition and subtraction in early math development. At Mathnasium, our initial goal is to have a student become comfortable with counting to any number, from any number, by any number, forward and backwards.

    Wholes And Parts

    As students begin to understand the relationship between a whole and the parts, a world of mathematical concepts and exercises can be explored. Once students have mastered these skills, they have little trouble with algebraic problem-solving.

    Quantity and Denomination

    The quantity and denomination construct examine two aspects of numerical value. Quantity asks “how many” and denomination asks “of what.”

    Proportional Thinking

    Proportional thinking establishes a fundamental base that leads to a stronger understanding of critical concepts like ratios, direct and indirect variation, and algebraic reasoning.

    The Law of SAMEness

    The Law of SAMEness is a concept students naturally apply in their reasoning without being aware of it. For example, quantities of apples and bananas cannot be added together unless first being changed so that they have the same name, which is fruit.
