Mathnasium of Kingwood

Mathnasium's approach begins with an assessment that determines what a student knows and doesn't know. Then, a prescriptive and personalized learning program is created. Mathnasium instructors provide encouragement and instruction to each student as they follow the program. Mathnasium uses its assessments as well as student report cards, independent test, and parent testimony as proof of progress. 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 work face-to-face with each student, and the ratio of instructors to students is typically up to 1:4. Students are encouraged to bring in homework and get help on it as well. Students are encouraged to complete their work and earn prizes. They can also enter drawings for larger prizes, like gift cards. Instructors also grade student work and make sure that each worksheet is correct, which reinforces the Mathnasium Method(tm) of focusing on getting the process correct.
