History
Established in 2002.
More than thirty-five years ago, Larry Martinek was inspired to find a better way to teach children math. As a teacher-trainer and consultant in schools, Larry possessed an incredibly comprehensive view of education. In his work with both stellar and struggling math programs, he clearly identified a common theme in mathematics instruction: a «serious disconnect between students’ basic skills training and the curriculum they are expected to master in the years to come.»
Over three decades, Larry developed and assembled a blend of methods and materials that proved highly effective for students of all ages. Instead of relying on traditional rote memorization and repetitive exercises, Larry’s work focused on helping children build deep mathematical understanding – number sense – by honing their math instincts.
Serving the Glendale, Montrose, and LaCanada areas, Mathnasium of LaCanada follows in Larry’s footsteps to help students find their inner Mathematician!
