History

Established in 2014.

More than 35 years ago, Larry Martinek, creator of the Mathnasium Method™, was inspired to find a better way to teach math. As a teacher in public and private schools, as well as a father to a mathematically gifted son, Nic, Larry possessed a comprehensive view of math education. In his work with both stellar and struggling math programs, he identified a common theme in math instruction — a vast disconnect between students’ learning skills and the curriculum they were expected to master. Larry decided to find an approach that would provide students with the strong mathematical foundation they needed to succeed. The solution would be to identify students’ current skill levels and propel them forward by teaching them math in a

way that made sense to them.
