Mathnasium of Kingwood

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. Mathnasium uses its assessments as well as student report cards, independent test, and parent testimony as proof of progress. Mathnasium separates levels of instruction into early education, elementary school, middle school, and high school. 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 their homework in and receive help with it. 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.
