Research shows that an early start in math can transform a child’s future. Mathnasium’s Great Foundations program gives young children the critical thinking and problem-solving skills they need to unlock their potential.
At Mathnasium of West Chester we build these skills through caring, face-to-face instruction, specifically tailored to a child’s learning stage. We’ve carefully selected topics that build upon each other along a continuum, laying the groundwork for Numerical Fluency and other concepts encountered later in school. And by making math engaging and fun, we cultivate a child's love of learning while also developing their ability to work independently. Great Foundations students not only gain confidence in math, they gain confidence for overall academic achievement. The Mathnasium Mission: Teach children math so they understand it, master it, and love it. Math can change their lives, and they can change the world.
Since 2002, more than a million parents have trusted us to give their children the skills to succeed in math and exceed expectations. We offer live instruction in our centers as well as online through Mathnasium@home. Great Foundations gives young children an invaluable advantage.
Children who consistently attend Mathnasium enjoy a transformative learning experience and make tremendous strides in comprehension, confidence and future school grades. Great Foundations graduates will acquire skills in 10 mathematical building blocks:
- Attributes - Determining objects’ similarities and differences, qualitatively and quantitatively
- Spatial Relationships - Understanding relative position of objects
- Classification - Sorting objects into different groups by their attributes
- Patterning - Recognizing interconnections among objects and with numbers
- One-to-One Correspondence - Connectingnumber values to the quantities of objects
- Ordering - Classifying objects by attribute, relative position, or comparative value
- Numeration - Bridging the gap between the number-object connection and arithmetic
- Shapes - Understanding how geometric shapes fit into 2- and 3-dimensional space
- Half - Comprehending the fundamental idea that half means “two parts the same”
- Measurement - Using language to describe the world quantitatively
Graduates can easily transition to Mathnasium’sprograms for older children. Multiple independent studies of school-age children found that Mathnasium improves performance on standards-based tests in 20 sessions or fewer.
