History

Established in 2015.

As a teacher-​trainer and consultant in public and top private schools, and father to a mathematically gifted son, Larry Martinek clearly identified a «serious disconnect between students’ basic skills training and the curriculum they are expected to master in the years to come.» Over the next three decades, Larry painstakingly developed and assembled a blend of methods and materials that proved highly effective for students of all ages. Larry’s work focused on helping children build deep mathematical understanding – number sense – by honing their math instincts and getting them to think like Mathematicians.

In the spring of 2002, Larry’s dream came true. Peter Markovitz and David Ullendorff, leaders in the education industry, made Larry and his curriculum the driving force of Mathnasium. Larry introduced his curriculum as the Mathnasium Method™ at their first math learning center in Westwood, California. Students of all ages found the curriculum to be incredibly powerful and engaging.
