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. 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 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 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. 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 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.
