The aim of the Kumon Math Program
is to prepare
students so that they can excel in high school Math.
The lower level Kumon worksheets are designed to build
mastery of the four operations, addition, subtraction, multiplication and
division, which are the basics of mathematics.
Students with a mastery of addition, subtraction,
multiplication and division can easily learn more complex operations such as
long division, fractions, equation solving and factorization.
Students who are struggling with math's are most often
those with poor foundation skills. Kumon’s programs are structured in a linear
fashion to ensure that students master one concept before moving onto the next.
Kumon students are able to progress based on an assessment of their own needs
and skills. This is one of the major differences between Kumon and school-based
learning.
The Kumon Math's program consists of 23 levels covering
content from counting to calculus. It is suitable for preschool children through
to senior high school students and those doing tertiary study.
The Kumon Math curriculum has 460 steps: from counting
practice for pre-scholars (level 7A) to college level mathematics (level Q).
Within those steps it is easy to find one that is "just right" for any
child. There are 10 worksheets for each step, totaling 4,600 worksheets in all.
Kumon believes that if children are having a hard-time
learning, they should not be blamed. The problem usually lies in the type of
materials being used, or the type of instruction being given. Based on this
philosophy, Kumon worksheets are constantly evaluated to iron out any
shortcomings.
The path to advancement is made even smoother by the
focus on repetition. This focus gives children the chance to consolidate each
topic area until they can get the correct answers quickly and effortlessly. This
level of fluency and the focus on practice feeds into and complements the formal
teaching that children receive in school.
