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.
