These 3-month intro courses give children the skills they need for math success. Elementary school students who can recall their math facts tor addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division with accuracy, efficiency, and understanding have achieved what we call Numerical Fluency. This is critical to building a strong math foundation. By working with caring, well-trained instructors in a fun and engaging environment, they also develop confidence and a love for math.
Every Mathnasium student starts with a personalized assessment, which determines their current ability level and identifies any learning gaps. Our proprietary instructional materials were designed by math experts to guide students through the learning process in a way that reinforces their knowledge and gives them the confidence to tackle what comes next. Caring, well-trained math instructors use simple, clear language that children understand and employ a variety of teaching techniques so that learning is fun and each child is able to grasp concepts in the ways they learn best.

Students who can recall their math facts for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division with accuracy, efficiency, and understanding have achieved numerical fluency. This is critical to building a strong foundation for math success and smooths the way to future learning.
The problem often stems from how math facts are taught in the early grades, where the focus is primarily on memorization and timed tests. This approach can cause anxiety for students and often does not lead to true understanding. When students forget a fact, they tend to rely on inefficient strategies like finger counting, foot-taping, head-bobbing, or other techniques, because they haven’t developed the comprehension needed for numerical fluency.
When kids rely on finger counting or counting by ones to add or subtract, two main issues can occur: either it takes them too long to arrive at the correct answer, or they end up with the wrong answer altogether.
We use five key strategies to ensure students achieve numerical fluency:
The Numerical Fluency program offers two courses: Addition & Subtraction and Multiplication & Division. Both are designed to help students master their basic math facts. It is a launch pad to more advanced skills as they learn to rely on their knowledge rather than inefficient techniques such as finger counting. They also gain the confidence to tackle what comes next in higher grades.
Mathnasium’s diagnostic assessment identifies whether your child has gaps in their understanding of basic math facts or are ready to move forward. The assessment also highlights which specific areas need improvement, allowing us to create a personalized learning plan. This ensures students master all the necessary prerequisite skills before we teach them new material.
