History

Established in 2014.

More than forty years ago, math educator Larry Martinek was inspired to find a better way to teach children math.

As a classroom teacher, teacher-​trainer, and consultant in public and top private schools – and father to a mathematically gifted son – Larry possessed a uniquely comprehensive view of education. He saw a troubling theme in mathematics instruction: a serious disconnect between the students’ basic skills training and the curriculum they were expected to master in the years to come. They weren’t being prepared properly for their future.

Larry set out on a mission: to find an approach that would provide children with the strong foundation they needed to succeed. Over the next three decades, he painstakingly developed and assembled a blend of methods and materials. Instead of relying on traditional rote memorization and repetitive exercises, Larry’s work focused on helping children understand math by honing their math instincts and getting them to think like mathematicians.

Business Owner

Pat has spent over 20 years in medical device sales. The changing landscape in this industry, however, had him thinking about what was next. While listening to CNBC on the radio, he heard a commercial for Mathnasium. After several months of research, including a visit to Los Angeles to meet the executive leadership of Mathnasium, and multiple conversations with local teachers, Pat and his wife, Chris, decided this was the right thing to do.

Pat has a Bachelor of Science in Finance from Ball State University and an MBA from the University of Notre Dame. He felt this opportunity gave him just the right mix of being able to work with numbers and build a business from the ground up.
