What Is Mathnasium?

“Children don’t hate math. What they hate is being confused, intimidated, and embarrassed by math. With understanding comes passion, and with passion comes growth–a treasure is unlocked.” – Larry Martinek

For more than a decade, the Mathnasium Method™ has transformed the way kids understand and appreciate math. Larry Martinek, creator of the Mathnasium Method, has spent 40+ years designing, developing, and refining this approach based on his extensive experience teaching math to kids. We build math knowledge based on what children already know, which helps them learn and starts boosting confidence right away.

We use a unique combination of mental, verbal, visual, tactile, and written techniques to teach math to kids the way that makes sense to them. Mathnasium’s proprietary curriculum focuses on helping kids build their number sense so they truly understand math.

Most importantly, the Mathnasium Method is a proven approach to helping kids understand math, yielding results that have been the catalyst for the incredible growth in Mathnasium Franchises over the last 10+ years.
