We Make Math Make Sense
The Mathnasium approach first revolves around an assessment to determine what a student does and does not know. Then, a prescriptive and personalized learning program is created. Each student follows the program with the help of specially trained Mathnasium math instructors who provide instruction and encouragement. [5] For proof of progress, Mathnasium relies on its assessments, as well as students' report cards, independent tests, and parent testimony to measure the speed and magnitude of improvement in math skills, numerical thinking, and attitude. Mathnasium divides instruction into four levels: early education, elementary, middle, and high schools. Students advance to a new level of study when they demonstrate mastery of the subject through completing mastery checks, where students have to answer a worksheet of problems correctly without help from instructors. Instructors are in direct contact with each student. The ratio of instructors to pupils is usually 1:4. Students are encouraged to bring in homework and get help on it as well. To encourage students, work they complete counts towards prizes, and they also can have chances to be entered into drawings for bigger prizes, such as gift cards. Instructors grade student work, and ensure that each worksheet is correct. This reinforces the Mathnasium Method (tm), which focuses on getting the process right.
