[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think there are a lot more interesting and fun ways to learn these concepts for a 5 year old. Sitting around doing worksheets could backfire and cause unhappiness with learning. In Montessori school, they use manipulatives and other ways to make learning interesting. [/quote] Montessori is GREAT at teaching concepts. but it does not provide adequate amounts of repetition. So what we saw with just Montessori was that our kid had really good understanding of stuff but frequently could not accurately/correctly solved the problems. for us combination of Montessori and kumon really worked out. Each method has its strengths and weaknesses and we were able to complement these 2 methods in an effective way. our kid responded very well to this combo. but i would not argue that this is Montessori/Kumon mix is for every one.
