The Mathnasium Education Team has translated the full curriculum and Mathnasium Method™ into many world languages. Upon partnering with a new master franchisee, we work closely to localize the full curriculum as we continue to expand into new countries.
Working with children adds meaning to our lives
Meet the man behind the method.
Math doesn’t change, but the teaching method can. This observation and the ensuing Mathnasium Method is the product of Larry Martinek’s 35-year teaching and educational consulting career. As he taught in environments ranging from poorly-performing inner city schools to acclaimed magnet schools, Larry identified a disconnect that seemed to be present throughout: children were not learning the basic math concepts they needed to master lessons they would encounter in the years to come.
With the help of his son, Nic, Larry decided that it made sense to find a better way to teach children math the first time around than it did to focus on remediating them in middle and high school. This objective – to teach kids math in a way that makes sense to them – is the foundation of the Mathnasium Method, Larry’s life work.
Today, Larry’s method is the foundation for over 1,000 Mathnasium franchises around the world. This proprietary method provides our franchisees the ability to impact lives and improve self-esteem for hundreds of thousands of children.
