Mathnasium is a learning center where students go year-round to boost their math skills. We are highly specialized; we teach only math. Our program is for students in pre-K through 12th grade. Members pay a monthly membership fee, and usually attend once or twice a week for about an hour.
Our goal is to significantly increase your child?s math skills, understanding of math concepts, and overall school performance, while building confidence and forging a positive attitude toward the subject.
Our philosophy:
Children don?t hate math.
They hate being confused and intimidated by math.
With understanding comes passion.
And with passion comes growth?a treasure is unlocked.
"This approach completely changed how I think about math."
? Suzanne Stein, parent and 5th Grade teacher
The key to understanding math is Number Sense. Number Sense does not develop by accident. It is the result of a process of encounter and interaction with a specific set of concepts and skills presented in a way that makes sense to the learner.
The Mathnasium Method? is the life?s work of Larry Martinek, Mathnasium?s Chief Instructional Officer and a teacher and math teaching consultant in the Los Angeles area for the past 30 years. It's the best there is: a time-tested, personalized program, that employs diagnostics, instruction, worksheets, manipulatives, and games to build Number Sense, and with it, confidence and a deep understanding and lifelong love of mathematics.
