Mathnasium Wipes Out Math Anxiety
Math anxiety can easily undermine the hard work students have put in throughout the year, lowering their scores on standardized tests and jeopardizing their chances to take advanced classes or enroll in the schools of their choice. Becky McDaniels, owner of the Brandon Mathnasium franchise, explains that students can reduce anxiety by reviewing mistakes they make in homework assignments and practice exams, grouping these errors into three categories, easily remembered as the “three C’s:” Concept – understanding the methods needed to solve specific problem types. Comprehension – determining exactly what individual problems are asking students to do. Calculation – solving the problem correctly without making errors or oversights. Mathnasium is the nation’s leading math-only learning center franchise, specializing in teaching kids math in a way that makes sense to them.
