For decades the Mathnasium Method™ has transformed the way kids learn math. We build a foundation for math mastery through deep understanding by starting with what they already know, addressing any learning gaps, expanding their mathematical thinking, and adding new concepts in sequence.
This proprietary method works for kids of all ages and skill levels, whether they’re struggling in math, doing okay but could be doing better, or are already excelling but need more of a challenge. When kids see what they can achieve because of their proficiency in math, it can alter the course of their entire lives.
We take our students on a journey of learning, through assessment, customized learning paths and targeted lessons for understanding and comprehension.
We begin with a comprehensive assessment, which includes both a verbal and written component, to pinpoint their exact strengths and weaknesses.
This plan is created for each child based on their assessment, so they will truly learn and grow in their mathematical thinking.
Our expert instructors don’t just teach students to memorize or calculate; they teach them to truly understand the way math works.
Success in math is the understanding of what numbers mean and how they work together. And Number Sense isn't just for young kids. We work on these topics through the levels shown below before moving on to Algebra and other higher math disciplines.
Counting
Counting is the key to unlocking addition and subtraction in early math development. At Mathnasium, our initial goal is to have a student become comfortable with counting to any number, from any number, by any number, forward and backwards.
Wholes And Parts
As students begin to understand the relationship between a whole and the parts, a world of mathematical concepts and exercises can be explored. Once students have mastered these skills, they have little trouble with algebraic problem-solving.
Quantity and Denomination
The quantity and denomination construct examine two aspects of numerical value. Quantity asks “how many” and denomination asks “of what.”
Proportional Thinking
Proportional thinking establishes a fundamental base that leads to a stronger understanding of critical concepts like ratios, direct and indirect variation, and algebraic reasoning.
The Law of SAMEness
The Law of SAMEness is a concept students naturally apply in their reasoning without being aware of it. For example, quantities of apples and bananas cannot be added together unless first being changed so that they have the same name, which is fruit.

Mathnasium students make tremendous strides in comprehension, confidence, and grades.
Our son has benefited significantly from Mathnasium. The instructors are excellent and the program is effectively structured. As a parent, I really appreciate the director’s ongoing communication and accommodations. The program is well worth the time and investment.
Mathnasium has been excellent in every way. Our 4 year old has been making great strides and his progress has been steady. The staff is amazing not only with parents but with all the children in the program. I would highly recommend this program to anyone with kids young and not so young. Thanks!
My daughters have seen great improvement in math since going to Mathnasium. I love getting regular updates from the friendly team at Mathnasium in South Pasadena. Highly recommend!
Excellent place! My kid loves math and wanted more outside school and Mathnasium is perfect. Tutors are incredible and my kid gets to work at exactly their level and grow from there!
This summer after starting with this staff my daughter's attitude and comfort with math has improved dramatically. She really enjoys the staff and is once again positive about engaging her work. I'm excited to see how this translates to her performance in school as the year gets ready to kick off.
My daughter had a C in Math and now has an A. Math has all of a sudden become easier for her and more enjoyable! I am very happy I signed her up at Mathnasium. The tutors are very kind and patient. I have recommended it to my friends and family! Thank you so much you have honestly made a parent very happy.
My daughter really likes going to this Mathnasium. Her grades and confidence have improved so much in a year. It is nice to see her enjoying the math learning process that Mathnasium provides. The staff has always been really helpful. I highly recommend Mathnasium to anyone looking to improve their kids math skills.
My daughter has been going to Mathnasium for last 7 years, first two in Sugarland and last five in Woodlands and she absolutely loves it and has made so much progress in her math learning to get ahead.
