• Addition and subtraction with regrouping
• Multiplication and division facts through 12×12
• Multi-step word problems
• Understanding place value up to 1,000
• Comparing and ordering numbers
• Rounding to the nearest ten or hundred
• Fractions as numbers on a number line
• Telling time to the nearest minute
• Measuring length, perimeter, and area
• Identifying and classifying shapes by attributes

Our teaching approach is based on personalized learning plans that consider each student’s learning style and needs, so we can provide targeted instruction to help your child bridge knowledge gaps and build solid foundations for math mastery.

Yes. We teach multiplication and division through:

• Arrays, equal groups, and number lines
• Repeated addition and skip counting
• Real-life word problems and games
• Number sense, rather than rote memorization

Students develop fluency with facts from 0 to 10 and understand how multiplication and division relate to each other.

We guide students through word problems by helping them:

• Identify what the question is asking
• Determine the correct operation(s)
• Organize information and represent problems visually
• Solve step-by-step and check their work

We teach strategies that build logical thinking and help students feel confident tackling complex problems.

Absolutely. We help students:

• Understand place value through the thousands
• Read and write numbers in standard, expanded, and word form
• Compare numbers using symbols like >, <, and =
• Round numbers to the nearest ten or hundred

These skills are key for building number sense, and we use both visual and verbal techniques to make learning stick.

We use concrete examples, visual models, and hands-on tools to help students add and subtract 2- and 3-digit numbers with and without regrouping, understand the process of “carrying” and “borrowing,” and use estimation to check if their answers are reasonable.

Yes. We introduce fractions as:

• Parts of a whole and parts of a group
• Numbers on a number line
• Simple comparisons (e.g., 1/2 vs. 1/3)
• Equivalent fractions using models

Students also learn how to read, write, and explain fractions, preparing them for more advanced concepts in later grades.

Following personalized learning plans, we can help students learn and master any 3^rd grade geometry topic, including how to:

• Classify shapes by sides, angles, and symmetry
• Identify polygons and understand quadrilaterals
• Partition shapes into equal parts and understand fractions in geometry
• Work with perimeter and area of simple shapes

We use visual tools to help students explore and describe geometric concepts clearly.

Our tutors introduce graphing through relatable, real-world examples that help students see how data tells a story. We start with simple activities like organizing favorite fruits or daily temperatures into a bar graph or pictograph, guiding students step-by-step from collecting data and labeling axes, to plotting points and interpreting results.

Yes. Many students come to us feeling behind or discouraged. 

We begin with a diagnostic assessment to identify gaps in understanding and then develop a personalized learning plan that builds upon what they already know and introduces new concepts step-by-step. 

With caring guidance and face-to-face instruction in a supportive environment, students gain the skills and confidence they need to succeed, often transforming how they think and feel about math along the way.

Certainly! Our specially trained and caring tutors work with students of all skill levels, including advanced students.

During enrollment, we identify each student’s strengths and knowledge gaps to create personalized learning plans that put them on the best path to math mastery.

Absolutely! Our 3^rd grade math tutors can set aside time during each session to help students with their school assignments and homework.

No, there isn’t. Students who choose to attend Mathnasium online will follow the same personalized learning plans and benefit from the same quality of instruction as they would at one of our Learning Centers. Our live, face-to-face online sessions are even held by the same tutors you would meet at your nearest Mathnasium Learning Center. 

Every student starts their Mathnasium journey with a diagnostic assessment. The assessment-based insights allow us to identify their current skill level as well as knowledge gaps and create a personalized learning plan that will set them on the best path toward math mastery.

Enrolling at Mathnasium is as easy as one-two-three: 

• Find a learning center and contact them, even if your child will be following an online learning program.
• Book an assessment so we can pinpoint any learning gaps and develop a personalized learning plan guided by specially trained math tutors. 
• Schedule your sessions. Your local Center Director is there to help you schedule the sessions for your child and guide you through the process.
