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. [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 separates levels of instruction into early education, elementary school, middle school, and high school. Students can advance to the next level of study if they show mastery of a subject by completing mastery tests, where they have to correctly answer worksheets of problems without assistance 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 their homework in and receive help with it. Students are encouraged to complete their work and earn prizes. They can also enter drawings for larger prizes, like 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.
