The goal of the Kumon Math Program is to make the study of high school math easy. Worksheets are structured in a way that allows students to progress based on their ability, not age or grade. The program is designed to help students reach calculus efficiently, and the worksheets are intended to develop a student’s self-learning ability as they progress.
Early in the program, Kumon students acquire a solid foundation in addition, subtraction, multiplication and division and increase their mental calculation ability to develop automaticity. They solve all math without a calculator, which demonstrates a significantly higher academic ability than those who rely upon tools to find the answer.
Kumon students develop concentration and calculation efficiency by getting the answer quickly and accurately, which indicates they are ready for the next concept. As students advance through the levels, they apply their calculation skills to topics such as fractions, negative integers, algebra, graphs and functions.
Students also develop the important study skill of correction by regularly analyzing and fixing their work. They are often undaunted by mistakes because they know errors are learning opportunities that lead to a strong sense of accomplishment.
Kumon materials introduce new content in a way that enables students to learn independently, which is a valuable skill that can drive success in school and beyond. Many Kumon students study materials ahead of their grade level and learn new concepts before they study it in school, giving them an academic advantage.
Having fluency in math facts and procedural skills enables students to become proficient and advanced. By the time a student reaches algebra, their strengths in self-learning and their calculation skills can allow them to learn calculus and advanced high school math independently.
No one does this better than Kumon. That is why millions of students are currently enrolled, making Kumon the largest academic program in the world.
