Mathnasium
Mathnasium (also Mathnasium Learning Center) is an education brand and supplemental learning franchise consisting of over 600 learning centers in North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia that provides instruction in math to students in pre-kindergarten through high school. The curriculum employs the Mathnasium Method, a proprietary system that was developed over 35 years by co-founder Lawrence Martinek.
==History==
Martinek, a Los Angeles-based mathematics educator, began developing the Mathnasium Method early in his teaching career by writing his own supplemental materials to school curricula. In 1985, Martinek published ''Math Tips for Parents'', a guide for parents and teachers based on his own experiences and his work with his son, Nic.〔(Math Help, Tutors, Learning Centers, Tutoring Programs and Services | Mathnasium.com )〕 In the book, Martinek argues that students build confidence and mastery in mathematics through successful encounter and interaction with carefully selected materials. He emphasizes that an approach combining oral, visual, mental, and written modalities helps children to develop number sense.
In 1999, Nic died at the age of 19 in a car accident. As a legacy to his son, Larry continued to refine the Mathnasium Method. Mathnasium was founded in 2002 by Larry Martinek, David Ullendorf, and Peter Markovitz. Larry based the Mathnasium Method on the premise that a student's dislike of math stems from the frustration and embarrassment of not understanding math the way it is taught in the classroom. The first center opened in Westwood, Los Angeles, California, and continues to be one of a small number of centers owned by Mathnasium, LLC.
In June 2010, Mathnasium announced the opening of the 200th U.S. location.〔(Tutoring Business Franchises | Math, Children and Education Franchise Opportunities | Mathnasium.com )〕 In February 2012, Mathnasium announced the 300th U.S. location. The 400th location opened in September 2013. There are currently Mathnasium centers in 16 countries. As of May 1, 2015, there are 580 Mathnasium locations within the United States.
