Mathnasium Summer Math
OVERCOME MATH LEARNING LOSS THIS SUMMER
The pandemic has had a major impact on everything, including our children’s math education. The limitations of school’s virtual learning platforms and reduced time spent in school have resulted in demonstrable math learning loss for many students.
Mathnasium of Madison Summer Programs are designed to overcome the challenges resulting from the pandemic and meet the needs of students by:
- Assessing each student’s current math skill set in order to identifying existing math concept gaps
- Developing summer math learning plans that will prioritize each student’s needs and target the most important skills / concepts
- Providing a structured curriculum which presents math concepts in a manner that children understand and then allowing students to get sufficient practice to master needed concepts
Mathnasium Summer Program students can access our talented Math Instructors in person at either our east side or west side locations or via our state-of-the-art online platform, Mathnasium @Home.
Summer program tutoring is available all summer, Mondays thru Fridays. Flexible scheduling enables students and families to work around vacations and other summer activities.

So far our favorite camps has been with The Wisconsin Veterans Museum! My kiddo was lucky enough to experience the photojournalism camp at the museum when they offered it.
The stem camps are what I am looking to get my daughter into!
We have done MSCR and Keva. One thing I’d like to see mentioned is if they offer inclusion for kids with special needs. I’m excited by all these options and am excited to look into them!
Thinking about summer adventures and trying something new seems harder than just continuing on but for the sake of our mental health, it’s so important. Stay safe.
AmyJ: MSCR does offer inclusion for the programs we offer. Right now (of course) our capacity is greatly reduced because of CoVid 19.
