Notebooks from the series “Kumon. Mathematics ”(publishing house“ Mann, Ivanov and Ferber ”), based on the world-famous teaching method, will help your child to master addition, subtraction, multiplication and division without any problems. And most importantly, he himself will happily solve all the examples and tasks.
What is Kumon?
This is a technique that has earned recognition from mothers anddads from all over the world. In many cities there are Kumon training centers, where children are helped to master school knowledge, develop abstract-logical and figurative thinking, train fine motor skills, and practice writing and reading skills.

About 60 years ago, something amazing happened in the family of a mathematics teacher Toor Kumon: his son brought a two-piece in arithmetic from school. The teacher could not accept such a failure, so he began to invent tasks for the boy himself. Every day, the student performed new exercises, which gradually became more and more difficult. Very soon he began to receive only high marks. The program, developed by Thor Kumon, proved to be very effective, so today people are involved in it around the world.
Features of the method
Most math textbooks offerseveral topics to study at once. Unlike them, each Kumon notebook is dedicated to one thing: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division or fractions. This helps the child concentrate on a specific task, immerse themselves in the material and understand it better. The methodology does not imply a heavy load. To master the topic, it is enough to study for only twenty minutes a day. The tasks gradually become more difficult: the first pages contain the simplest examples, and the last ones contain the most difficult ones. If the child solves them consistently, he will easily achieve significant results.

To do this, the pages have clear explanations, hints, tasks for repetition of the material studied and sample solutions for examples, and at the end - the correct answers for verification. For each exercise, the child will be able to place his own points in a special graph. A great source of pride and motivation!
Where to begin?
The Kumon math notebook series includessix difficulty levels. If your child is not yet familiar with the simplest arithmetic operations, start with the first level. At this stage, you can repeat the ordinal count, learn the rules of addition and subtraction, and most importantly - practice solving examples with small numbers.

At the third level, the child will review what has been covered, begin to solve even more complex examples on addition and subtraction, and then get acquainted with multiplication and division. Workbooks of the fourth level of complexity will help to learn the multiplication and division of multi-digit numbers in a column. Also at this stage, the child will learn what fractions are, learn to add and subtract them. The fifth and sixth levels will teach how to divide and multiply fractions. In each notebook, the child will find tasks to review the material from the previous levels, if this is necessary for understanding the next topic. For example, to start multiplication, you first need to remember the rules of addition. Read also:
