NWEA MAP stands for Northwest Evaluation Association Measures of Academic Progress.
The NWEA MAP, also referred to as the MAP Growth (Measures of Academic Progress), is a personalized, computer-adaptive assessment provided by the Northwest Evaluation Association (NWEA).
It is designed to measure students' academic growth and proficiency across key subject areas, tracking progress over time.
The NWEA MAP assesses:
· Mathematics for grades K-12
· Reading for grades K-12
· Language Usage for grades K-12
· Science for grades K-12
The "adaptive" nature of the NWEA MAP test means it adjusts in real-time to each student's performance.
If a student answers a question correctly, the following question is more challenging. If they answer incorrectly, the next question is easier. This creates a tailored testing experience that accurately identifies each student’s academic strengths and areas for improvement.
The NWEA MAP math test is typically administered three times a year—in the fall, winter, and spring.
Mathnasium’s NWEA MAP math tutoring focuses on the math concepts students will encounter on the exam.
We create learning plans personalized to each student's specific needs, helping them leverage their strengths and close their knowledge gaps. We add new topics in sequence and empower students to learn and master even the most complex concepts by breaking them into manageable steps and using a range of proven teaching techniques.
As students advance on their Mathnasium journey, they develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills that set them up for success on any standardized exam.
As many as 90% of students have reported improved academic performance after enrolling at Mathnasium.
Mathnasium’s NWEA MAP 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: Students take a diagnostic assessment to 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, focusing on filling in their knowledge gaps and developing solid math foundations. 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.
No, there isn’t. Students who decide 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 closest Mathnasium Learning Center.
To start their Mathnasium journey, students participate 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.
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 NWEA MAP math tutoring early to allow the student enough time to learn and master the math concepts they'll encounter on the test.
Getting started with the NWEA MAP 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.
Since starting Mathnasium, my daughter has become much more comfortable with math and has overcome her fear of it.
My daughter enjoys her sessions and instructors. She said they explain things in a way she understands, and she feels like she is improving. We couldn’t ask for anything more!
I've watched as my niece's grades AND confidence dramatically increase since she started attending Mathnasium.
