About
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 to Pre-Calculus
*. Members pay a monthly membership fee, and
usually attend 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 & 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.
