Frequently Asked Questions

Contact your local Mathnasium Learning Center with any questions you may have about FAST tutoring. Here are some of the more common ones we get:

  • What is FAST?

    Florida Assessment of Student Thinking (FAST) is a statewide progress monitoring assessment designed to track student development throughout the school year.

    The FAST assesses:

    • Reading for students in Voluntary Prekindergarten (VPK) through grade 10
    • Mathematics for students in VPK through grade 8

    The assessments are administered three times per year to monitor students' academic progress and ensure they meet Florida's educational standards.

  • When do students take the FAST math test?

    Students take the FAST math test three times per year: typically, in the fall, winter, and spring.

  • What types of scores are provided in the FAST?

    Achievement levels in the FAST range from Level 1 to Level 5. A Level 3 score signifies that students are performing at grade level.

  • How do FAST scores affect students in Florida?

    FAST test scores are primarily for informational purposes, helping to identify areas where students might need additional instruction and support.

    While these results guide instructional adjustments and support, the final exam at the end of the year provides a summative score to assess overall mastery of grade-level content standards and readiness for the next grade.

  • How does Mathnasium prepare students for FAST math?

    Mathnasium’s FAST math tutoring focuses on the math concepts students will encounter on the FAST exam.

    We use a proprietary teaching approach called the Mathnasium Method™ designed to help students excel at math. Using our approach, Mathnasium tutors work with students to bridge their knowledge gaps and add new concepts in sequence, helping them truly understand and master FAST math and build the skills they will need to score well on the exam.

    As many as 90% of students have reported improved academic performance after enrolling at Mathnasium.

  • What teaching method does Mathnasium use to help students prepare for the FAST?

    Mathnasium’s FAST math tutors use the Mathnasium Method™, our proprietary teaching approach designed to help students truly understand and enjoy math. The Mathnasium Method™ fosters math mastery by:

    • Using Personalized Learning Plans: Using assessment-based insights, we create personalized learning plans that will put each student on the best path to math mastery.
    • Building on Existing Knowledge: Our tutors start with what the student already knows to help them bridge their knowledge gaps and develop solid foundations for math mastery. Adding new concepts in sequence, we work with students to increase their knowledge level by level while enhancing their critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
    • Teaching for Understanding: We teach math in a way that makes sense to the student, employing a range of mental, visual, verbal, tactile, and written techniques to help them master any math concept.
  • Is there any difference between Mathnasium’s online and in-center FAST math tutoring?

    No, there isn’t. Students who choose to attend Mathnasium online will receive the same quality of live, face-to-face instruction and even work with the same tutors they would meet at their local learning center.

  • What kind of assessment is necessary to enroll at Mathnasium?

    To start their Mathnasium enrollment, students take part in a diagnostic assessment which allows us to identify their knowledge gaps and strengths.

    We use assessment-based insights to create a personalized learning plan that will put your student on the best path towards achieving their academic goals.

  • How often should my student attend math sessions to prepare for the FAST?

    Typically, we recommend 2 to 3 math tutoring sessions per week. However, our tutors may suggest a different frequency of sessions based on each student’s specific goals and needs.

    We recommend starting the FAST math tutoring early to allow the student enough time to learn and master the math concepts they'll face on the test.

  • How can I enroll my student for math tutoring at Mathnasium?

    Getting started with the FAST math tutoring at Mathnasium is as easy as one-two-three:

    1. Find a location. Contact your nearest learning center, even if your student will be learning online.
    2. Schedule an assessment. Our diagnostic skills assessment helps us create a customized learning plan for your student.
    3. Book your sessions. Your local Center Director can guide you and your student in setting up a tutoring schedule.
