History
Established in 2010.
More than forty years ago, math educator Larry Martinek was inspired to find a better way to teach children math.
Larry set out on a mission: to find an approach that would provide children with the strong foundation they needed to succeed. Over the next three decades, he painstakingly developed and assembled a blend of methods and materials. Larry's work focused on helping children understand math by honing their math instincts and getting them to think like mathematicians.
And it worked. As Larry's innovations gained wide circulation over the years, Los Angeles schools began teaching from his materials instead of their textbooks. The result: Test scores skyrocketed. His work evolved into a complete curriculum from pre-kindergarten to 12th grade math.
Today, more than 40 years after Larry first developed it, the Mathnasium Method™ is providing children all over the world increased confidence, critical thinking skills, and mathematical ability to last a lifetime.

I have over 9 years of education experience including the last 7+ years working as the Senior Center Director at one of the largest centers in Minnesota, St. Louis Park-Edina.
