Mathworks provides a math-friendly environment that encourages mathematical exploration and discovery. Because Mathworks is driven to show that “all students can do math at a high level,” students, parents and teachers are continually impressed by their accomplishments.

Statistics gathered from standardized tests in mathematics show minorities, in particular Hispanics, are rapidly falling behind in math and science. Mathworks has established math camps and programs in the Rio Grande Valley to strengthen Hispanic student development. Teacher training programs have been held in Laredo, Mission, McAllen, Mercedes and Brownsville to introduce the Mathworks model math camps in school districts throughout the Rio Grande Valley.

Mathworks has developed a unique program for training master teachers to promote systemic change in the classroom. The focus is on intense workshops and long-term, school year follow-up. Teacher training programs without students often fail to make the “classroom connection,” and fail to produce measurable gains in student performance.

Math homework does not have to be boring! Mathworks students explore concepts through hands-on activities and discovery learning. The curriculum uses both drama and real-world models to teach students how to think and reason mathematically.

The decrease in math skills among our growing populations may have an enormous impact on our technology workforce and competitiveness in the worldwide marketplace. Preparing students in mathematics and exciting them about careers in math, science and engineering is essential to maintaining a competitive workforce. Mathworks is dedicated to doing just that. Mathworks alumni have continued their studies at universities such as MIT, Caltech, Rice, Harvard, Yale, Stanford, University of Texas, Texas A&M and others.

Mathworks students have qualified and competed in international math competitions. Because students involved in Mathworks are exposed to higher level math at such a young age, they are able to compete successfully at all levels.

Mathworks has a proven track record of success. Students show impressive gains in algebra preparedness on nationally normed tests, including the Orleans-Hanna algebra prognosis test. All students can succeed in algebra, and Mathworks is showing how!

Dr. Max Warshauer, Professor of Mathematics and founder of Texas Mathworks, is a leading advocate of the importance of teaching students mathematics at earlier ages. His vision to change the culture of mathematics education has placed his students among the best nationally and internationally.
