May 13, Ann Marie O'Keefe. Mathnasium has been a blessing to assist my boys with Math Tudor help. They have been in the Denville Mathnasium program for three years now. They previously went to a one on one Math Tudor.

While this was helpful it did not accomplish what Mathnasium has mastered in creating an individual assessment and learning program to focus on their needs. I highly recommend this program as it has changed my boys attitude and ability to take initiative on their own to complete homework and increased confidence in test taking!

All of these careers appear to be different, but the one thing they have in common is that each of them require a strong developed skill set in mathematics.

Studying mathematics allows you to understand the world better. This seems obvious, but knowing the nuances behind how mathematics works can open your eyes and help you see the world around you in a new way.

Thinking this way led [Einstein] and others to a closer examination of the symmetries of the universe, or all the ways you can shift, rotate and move through it and still measure the same separation between objects or events as before.

It is in the language of these symmetries that relativity simplified our mathematical description of the universe. For Oakley, mathematics is similar to learning a foreign language and she wanted achieve fluency. Equations, proofs, theorems, and working on a complicated mathematical problem are done the same way whether you speak Russian, French, English, or any language.

All that matters is understanding the mathematical concept -- this can be immensely helpful if you are working on a project with a foreign country. Plus, choosing mathematics as a degree path can lead to surprising, and fulfilling, career paths List your programs. Doctor of Education. It will be useful for your teen in remodeling future homes and apartments.

It will help your teen find how much paint they need to buy when repainting a room. It is also an important skill for anyone who wants to install new tiles in a bathroom or a kitchen. Knowing how to calculate perimeters can help your child when deciding how much lumber to buy for floor or ceiling trim.

People use math knowledge when cooking. For example, it is very common to use a half or double of a recipe. In this case, people use proportions and ratios to make correct calculations for each ingredient. Your teen will use math when buying different items. When buying a new computer, your child will need to figure out which store offers the best price or best financing. Math is useful in finding the best deal for food items. For example, your teen will need to decide which pack of soda to buy when given a choice of 20 oz.

Not only can this make it difficult for the child to move forward into more complex calculations, it can also massively knock their confidence and take a while for them to find their feet again with their understanding of number.

We must ensure, through the study of maths, that we take no shortcuts at any age, as each step in numeracy builds on the last. Studying maths also allows us to find more efficient methods which save us time, and to work out maths much quicker mentally than we would be able to relying on paper and pencil, or a calculator. You have heard, in the 21st Century, the argument that we no longer need to know a load of mental maths as we all have calculators smartphones on our pockets.

However, it is not always obvious, even, using a calculator, what we need to work out and which steps to go through, so knowing basic number skills by heart, such as times tables, is a key component. An extreme example of when mental maths would come to the fore would be in the operating theatre. Nobody wants their surgeon to stop to use their smartphone to decide how much blood we can afford to lose before they intervene! This might be an unlikely example, but we definitely want to have as many numeracy skills in our mental maths toolkit as possible.

This reduces cognitive load, which put simply has an impact on how much brain power we need to complete simple calculations, how flustered we become and therefore how likely we are to make mistakes in our calculations. Even in the most everyday of examples, most of us do not take out our smartphones to work out every offer in the supermarket to decide which one is best. Even when we do use our smartphones or satnav to work out journey times and distances for us, we make then add our own decisions on whether to take route A or route B, and our reasons for that choice.

We are all still humans and our own knowledge added to the maths is what helps us to make good decisions for ourselves. Regular studying — whether of new concepts or simply revising and revisiting things we have learnt before — helps our grey matter and has been shown to improve IQ over time. This is just one of the reasons as to why maths is important! Just as there is no age at which it is too young to start learning maths, there is also no age at which you are too old to learn or practise maths.

Studies with older adults and retired adults show that brain training, using puzzles and quick maths recall such as times tables, can have an impact on brain function and awareness which has a knock-on effect to health and wellbeing.

We know this can have a positive impact, or even more importantly we know that low numeracy levels correlate with poor outcomes in life in many areas — not simply in our career choices and opportunities, and we want to help as many children as possible avoid this outcome.

We all are, by nature, mathematically minded when we are young. Good maths teaching and practice are what keep us all mathematically minded as we grow up — ensuring a level playing field for everyone.
