[quote=Anonymous]I believe the best thing to do is to 1) provide meaningful math (conceptual understanding e.g., www.dreambox.com) 2) provide opportunities to practice automaticity of math facts AFTER the conceptual understanding is reached (e.g., IXL, flash cards) 3) as much as possible keep it fun (e.g., math games, building, engineering, etc.) What does your child need? It's my understanding from looking at Kumon materials and talking with our local "sales rep," that Kumon specializes in the second point. Lots of practice and automaticity. The rep explicitly told me that Kumon does NOT TEACH CONCEPTS. Therefore, we are not interested in Kumon for our child. We can do automaticity practice for zero money in our house.[/quote]
