[quote=Anonymous]I send my kids to KUMON. PP said it is “redundant” because it just teaches stuff from school. That is true in a way— the curriculum is very similar. However, the homework repetition is totally different. School homework has ten problems and KUMON homework has 50-100 (nightly!). I don’t think kids can memorize math facts with the homework provided from school. With more advanced skills (let’s say three digit vertical subtraction for elementary school), the KUMON homework has scaffolding that just isn’t present in the school homework because there just aren’t enough problems to see mastery of different sub skills (I.e. 493-72 is using less advanced skills than 441-72, which is easier than 401-72)[/quote]
