Introducing MetaMath

MetaMath is an online math instruction program for grades 6 - 12 created by a licensed math teacher who saw many of his students struggle with traditional timelines.

MetaMath was born from Patrick's personal passion to remove the anxiety from learning math and provide supportive virtual learning by bringing the best aspects of asynchronous and synchronous learning together.

Hi, I'm Patrick Shaughnessy

I'm the co-founder of MetaMath

I know from first-hand experience that the traditional classroom approach to teaching math doesn’t meet everyone’s needs. I believe in creating an interactive and meaningful experience that reaches all types of learners. And as we approach an uncertain school year, I know more than ever that parents and students need support and flexible learning at their own pace.

I currently teach high school math in Asheville, NC. I’ve been a certified public school teacher for 19 years for 6th grade through community college. I’ve taught in traditional classrooms and online, and believe in the power of technology to reach students who have not had success in the classroom.

No more tears. No more giving up in frustration. I’m on a mission to show kids (and their parents) that they aren’t bad at math.

MetaMath Includes

So many other math curriculums are only that - a book of lessons. Don’t spend hundreds on textbooks or lesson materials. Get the real math teacher.

  • Self-paced step-by-step instructions and guided notes for every lesson for grades 6-8 and Math 1-3

  • Immediate feedback on quizzes so your student knows where they stand

  • Short, no-fluff lessons in 5-7 minute bites so your child gets the information they need without getting antsy

  • Risk-free 30-day money-back guarantee because we feel strongly that you find the right fit for your child

FAQ

  • How are the lessons taught?

    Patrick uses a neat technology called a lightboard so it appears as if he is talking directly to you in the videos (and writing in the air - it’s so cool!). There’s no “over the shoulder” approach like in many other online programs. There’s no watching a cursor and listening to just a voice in MetaMath!

  • How much does this cost?

    Our membership costs just $47/month or you can pay $188 for six months (that’s 2 months for free!). You’ll get my proven system for math instruction, live and email support, self-paced learning, student community, private Facebook group, and so much more. I believe in this system and I want your child to learn that they can be good at math. And I want to help parents ease into “accidental” homeschooling heading into this school year.

  • Is there a discount for multiple kids from the same family?

    Because each child will be at their own learning level and usually in different grades, we do not offer discounts. Each child will need to sign up for the program. However, we do offer a 30-day money-back guarantee, so there’s no harm in trying it out, right?

  • Is there additional 1:1 help available?

    Yes! One-on-one tutoring is available for students who need additional support, though we believe our office hours and email support will help the majority of students. The uniqueness of this program is that if your child gets stuck, they have the support of an actual math teacher. If it’s determined that tutoring would be beneficial, a session can be purchased at any time as long as you are a member. These spots are limited and available each week on a first-come, first-serve basis.

  • What is your refund policy?

    We provide a 30-day no-questions-asked money-back guarantee because we feel strongly that you find the right fit for your child and family.

  • I have a different question that you didn’t answer.

    No problem - just email us at [email protected] and ask. I’ll get back to you as soon as I can!

  • What is your teaching method?

    Patrick has spent 15 years honing his lessons into bite-sized pieces so everyone has the potential to succeed in math. MetaMath incorporates the three fundamentals of his approach:

    Define ➝ Apply ➝ Breakthrough

    Define: Our 2- to 5-minute videos are quick and accessible.

    Apply: Our built-in assessments build comprehension as you go and give immediate feedback.

    Breakthrough: Our flexible approach lets you learn on your own timeline and break through traditional barriers to math comprehension.

Kids Are Happy - Parents Are Relieved

Janell A.

“You've got the best of both worlds where not only are they able to be self-paced and go as fast or as slow as they need, but then there's somebody who cares. My son really felt like Patrick had his back and actually cared about him getting through the course with success.”

Kim C.

“Your program is a total game-changer. It's unlike anything else out there.”
