Macaroni Kid Wichita is very pleased to welcome a new advertiser AND a new business to the west side of Wichita. Mathnasium, The Math Learning Center, has been open for a few weeks and is already helping kids - and parents - overcome the challenges that many of our kids face when learning new math principles. Targeting 2nd grade thru high school, Mathnasium is an international chain of year round learning centers where children go to improve their math skills. Although the concept is new to Wichita, there are more than 300 centers in the United States utilizing the Mathansium Method based on individually customizable education curriculum created through 35 years of classroom experience and research.
Rachel Allen, Wichita Center Director and Owner, has a personal mission of improving and developing children. She hopes this combined with her love of math will help combat what she identifies as a Math Illiteracy epidemic in this country.
"The Mathnasium approach is not just rote learning, " Allen said. "We work to build 'number sense' that creates a real understanding of math rather than just a following of a process. When you combine the understanding and process for students, math finally starts to make sense for the first time."
"The skill assessment is extensive and identifies all skill gaps, " Rachel Allen said. "We find students succeed better when their personal learning plan begins with math at their current level of skill. We then create a customized learning plan that addresses these skill gaps and creates a solid foundation. As the student begins to build forward they find success in math, often for the first time. Students that thought they hated math, often find themselves excited about advancing their math skills."
In addition to school year assistance, the center will also offer a Summer Jumpstart program which helps students move ahead and prepare for the next year math classes.
