For decades the Mathnasium Method™ has transformed the way children learn maths. We build a foundation for maths 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 children of all ages and skill levels, whether they’re struggling in maths, doing okay but could be doing better, or are already excelling but need more of a challenge. When children see what they can achieve because of their proficiency in maths, it can alter the course of their entire lives.
We take our students on a journey of learning, through assessment, customised learning paths and targeted lessons for understanding and comprehension.
We begin with a comprehensive assessment, which includes both a verbal and written component, to pinpoint their exact strengths and weaknesses.
This plan is created for each child based on their assessment, so they will truly learn and grow in their mathematical thinking.
Our expert instructors don’t just teach students to memorise or calculate; they teach them to truly understand the way maths works.
Success in maths is the understanding of what numbers mean and how they work together. And Number Sense isn't just for young children. We work on these topics through the levels shown below before moving on to Algebra and other higher maths disciplines.
Counting
Counting is the key to unlocking addition and subtraction in early maths development. At Mathnasium, our initial goal is to have a student become comfortable with counting to any number, from any number, by any number, forwards 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 examines two aspects of numerical value. Quantity asks “how many?” and denomination asks “of what?”
Proportional Thinking
Proportional thinking established a fundamental base that leased to a stronger understanding of critical concepts like ratio, 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.

Mathnasium students make tremendous strides in comprehension, confidence and grades.
Josh and his team are passionate about Maths and bring it to life in a fun and memorable way for children. My child absolutely loves going to Mathnasium and has developed both his confidence and ability in the subject tremendously. Would highly recommend.
Mathnasium has been fantastic for us - for both of our daughters. We received a call back within an hour of our email enquiry, and Shane and Fiona have been so warm, supportive and professional throughout - and it clearly works for children, creating a space where they actually enjoy learning maths!
My girls have both grown in confidence since joining. The availability of classes and hybrid online / in person approach works with our busy schedule.
Great place, definitely helped my son gain confidence in maths. Ed and the team do a great job and they have some great reward systems to incentivise your child.
My son’s confidence and enjoyment for maths has improved greatly and this is evident in his school work as he is producing really good results. The holiday camp is excellent with a good mix of fun activities! The staff are extremely dedicated and adjust the learning needs as per the child’s needs.
