At Mathnasium, we help kids understand math by teaching the way that makes sense to them. Children who consistently

Attitude: When math makes sense, kids develop a more positive attitude toward math.
Understanding: Mathnasium teaches for understanding, giving students the ability to succeed in any math environment. As Larry Martinek, Mathnasium’s Chief Instructional Officer notes, “It's pretty easy to forget things you memorize and near impossible to forget things you understand."

In Their Own Words:
I first enrolled my children when my daughter, about to enter second grade at the time, began to express disdain for math and to believe that she was not suited for it. Keenly aware that girls deselect from math and science fields at a rapid pace, I was unwilling to accept my daughter choosing to divest herself from the many career paths that proficiency in math provides, especially at such a young age! I enrolled her in Mathnasium
because I believed that while she had strengths in some areas, she also had some gaps in her knowledge that they could help her to fill. I also wanted her to have positive female role models who were good at, and
enjoyed, math.
I am delighted to report that my daughter, without any prodding from me, has been placed in the advanced math group for her grade and, to my delight, now says that math is her favorite subject and believes it is
something she can do well. She may or may not eventually choose a career that uses math at a high level, but I feel confident that she can make an informed choice at a later time and not at age 8! Mary, Parent
My daughter was having issues with math so I checked out a few places in town and decided to go with this center. The staff is friendly and helpful. Jackie, parent
Good morning Salma, Just wanted to drop you a quick note and tell you how much my grandson is enjoying math. All of us are shocked to say the least. I know he wasn’t too excited about the whole prospect, but, he already is building confidence in what he is learning and enjoying it. Thanks for the great program.
Patti, guardian
They teach math in a fun and playful way. Sometimes my son whines when I pick him up- he wants to stay longer. Lita, Parent
The difference in her (daughter's) attitude and grades is like night and day. Stacy, Parent
Her success in math is spilling into other subjects too. Tracy, Mother
I think Mathnasium is great. It is inspiring and when you go home you can tell you parents how fun Mathnasium was. I love it. It is so easy they show stuff that is so cool and it can be easier to learn about. Division, Multiplication, Subtraction, and Addition and you can find out stuff before your whole grade! I am in third grade. Marcus, Haylee, Andrew, Mrs Jennifer, and Mr. James are the tutors they are great at helping you learn alot easier and they are smart like mathematicians and they are great. By the end of the day you are a Mathematician!

The Mathnasium Difference
So how is Mathnasium different?
Great Question! The very first thing we do is give your child a skills assessment. We give them both a written and oral assessment so that we can get a deep understanding of not only what they know, but how they think! We sit down with them, put them at ease, and give them an assessment that doesn't feel too easy or too hard. Most importantly, we find out HOW THEY LEARN! Then we build their trust by giving them a few ideas and strategies that they can use immediately. We then build a customized learning plan that targets skill gaps and quickly shows them success. In many cases “success” in math is something they have been craving!
