[quote=Anonymous]Kumon is great for first graders because automaticity with math facts is no longer emphasized in school. You lean to be quick AND accurate first with addition and subtraction single digits then with multi digit subtraction, addition, then single digit multiplication facts, then multiplication and division if you stick it out to level D. Level E is fractions. It can be tedious but it’s like practicing scales in music or doing drills in basketball or soccer. You want muscle memory so you don’t have to think when doing challenging problems. I was at a neighbors house and her child was doing beast academy 2nd grade but was still counting on her fingers. You have to be able to see patterns in numbers which is so hard to do if you haven’t memorized math facts. AOPS algebra is designed so you don’t need a calculator but you better have math facts down cold to see all the shortcuts and easier ways of solving the problems. [/quote]
