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 deserves the recognition of moms anddads from many different countries. In many cities, there are Kumon learning centers, where children help to learn school knowledge, develop abstract-logical and imaginative thinking, train fine motor skills, work out writing and reading skills.

About 60 years ago, something amazing happened in the family of the teacher of mathematics, Toru Kumon: his son brought from school a deuce in arithmetic. 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 Tohru Kumon turned out to be very effective, therefore today it is being practiced all over the world.
Features of the method
Most math tutorials offerseveral topics to learn at once. In contrast, each Kumon notebook is dedicated to one thing: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, or fractions. This helps the child to concentrate on a specific task, immerse himself in the material and better understand it. The methodology does not involve a large load. To assimilate the topic, it is enough to engage in only twenty minutes a day. The tasks are gradually becoming more complicated: the simplest examples are located on the first pages, and the most difficult on the last pages. If the child solves them consistently, he will achieve significant results without problems.

To do this, the pages have clear explanations, tips, tasks for repeating the material covered and examples of solving examples, and at the end - the correct answers for verification. For each exercise performed, the child will be able to give himself points in a special column. A great source of pride and motivation!
Where to begin?
There are six Kumon math seriesdifficulty levels. If your child is not yet familiar with the simplest arithmetic, start with level one. At this stage, you can repeat the ordinal score, learn the rules of addition and subtraction, and most importantly - practice solving examples with small numbers.

In the third, the child will repeat what he has learned, will begin to solve even more complex examples of addition and subtraction, and then become familiar with multiplication and division. The notebooks of the fourth level of complexity will help to assimilate the multiplication and division of multi-digit numbers in the bar. Also at this stage, the child will know what fractions are, learn how 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 for repeating material from previous levels, if necessary for understanding the next topic. For example, to start multiplication, you first need to remember the rules of addition. Read also:
