[quote=Transplant_1]OP here who posted about deepening math with Kumon and Russian math.  When I was little, doing a little math 3 - 4 a week to practice and solidify was not burn-out, it was part of HW.  But math HW (with all HW, it seems) has disappeared.  My current 4th grader did Kumon all of 2022.  A little bit of math (10 mins) every day, to nail her tables.  It massively boosted her confidence, and now she loves math and can focus on concepts, not on basic arithmetic.  Highly recommend the Kumon off River Road -- can also get your shopping done :-)   Current 7th grader did some Kumon first semester of 7th grade - got much more comfortable with fractions, looking for greatest common multiple and least common factor for double digit and triple digit numbers -- very key to feeling comfortable in math.  Both now are in Russian Math (on Connecticut) solidifying concepts, getting more comfortable with math, learning importance of precision, and dealing more with word problems to get more comfortable with abstracting, not just literally following rules and arithmetic.

I share my experience, to the extent helpful, because I don't understand who spends time trolling DCUMS to just make broadside negative comments for no reason.[/quote]
