Mathnasium allows children of all ages
to develop and learn vital math skills
Mathnasium is a mathonly
after-school learning
center with over 900 locations
worldwide. Mathnasium
provides a fun,
active and social learning
environment where a child
can develop a lifetime passion
for math, operating on
the core belief that virtually
any child can become
great at math.
Mathnasium focuses its
curriculum on the development
of Number Sense
— the ability to think
mathematically and with
mathematical fluency —
which is the foundation of
math understanding. The
Mathnasium Method,
implemented at more than
900 Mathnasium centers
in the U.S. and abroad
combines mental, verbal,
visual, tactile, and written
techniques. Using Number
Sense and the Mathnasium
Method, “Mathletes” learn
how to conceptualize math
through a unique program
that provides each child
with a customized learning
plan and personalized
instruction in a way that
‘makes sense to them.’
“At Mathnasium, we focus
solely on math, so we
know how to teach it in a
way that really connects
with kids. Mathnasium
centers across the country
have helped struggling
students develop into ‘A’
students and ‘A’ students
go on to even greater
achievements. Children at
Mathnasium quickly learn
that math can be fun and
interesting as well as extraordinarily
useful, both
in terms of succeeding in
school and for the valuable
life skills it provides.”
Mathnasium increases
a student’s understanding,
skills, and overall
math performance, while
building a child’s confidence
and a positive attitude
toward math. For
students, the Mathnasium
experience begins with a
highly detailed assessment
of each child’s strengths
and weaknesses, which is
then used to create a customized
learning plan.
Personalized instruction
from Mathnasium’s highly
trained and caring instructors
assures that each student
fully understands key
concepts before moving
on to the next. “The greatest
part of Mathnasium is
that we can individually
tailor our curriculum to the
student’s needs — from
the struggling student to
the gifted wanting enrichment.”
“The teaching of math
is rapidly changing these
days. Common Core standards
are impacting how
all students are taught (particularly
impacting gifted
students). In addition, the
expansion of technology,
such as graphing calculators,
is evolving topics reserved
in the past for college
to be taught in high
school. Math is the U.S.
in a ‘mile wide but an inch
deep.’ A lot of ground is
covered but not with great
depth. At Mathnasium, we
dig deeper so that our students
develop true mastery
in the topic.”
Mathnasium. We change
lives through math!
