What is the main goal of Mathnasium?

The main goal of Mathnasium is to remediate and extend student knowledge. This means that the program is designed to help students who may be struggling with math concepts by providing personalized instruction that addresses their specific needs. Furthermore, Mathnasium aims to extend the understanding of math for students who are already performing well. This dual focus on both remediation and enrichment allows students to build a stronger foundation in math and advance their skills effectively.

In contrast, creating a standard curriculum for all students does not align with Mathnasium's personalized teaching approach, which tailors instruction to individual learning styles. Limiting learning to basic arithmetic would restrict students' mathematical development, as Mathnasium encourages deeper understanding and mastery of a range of math concepts. Additionally, while testing students regularly can be part of the assessment approach, it is not the primary goal of Mathnasium; the emphasis is on understanding and applying math concepts rather than solely on testing performance.
