How to help a child with math?
The mathematical series of Kumon notebooks is one ofthe best ways to study mathematics, tested and loved by parents and children. It was with the tasks in mathematics, invented by Torah Cumin for his son, that the legendary method began.
Today famous notebooks help to master different topics (from studying figures to complex problems and examples) to millions of children all over the world.
We will tell you about five mathematical novelties. Now fractions, multiplication and division of many-valued numbers can be studied easily and simply.
How did the notebooks come about?
The legendary Kumon technique has mathematicalroots. She was born 60 years ago from simple sheets with examples that the Japanese mathematics teacher Toru Kumon gave to his son Takeshi. The boy had difficulties with arithmetic, he received deuces on the subject. My father decided to help.
Every day he painted for him sheets with assignmentsand asked his son to solve them. The examples gradually became more complicated. It was not long before the boy became an excellent student, and by the sixth class he was already able to easily solve differential equations. Parents of classmates Takeshi asked Torah Cumona to study with their children. So the first training center Kumon appeared.
Today, more than 4 million children all over the world teach mathematics and other subjects on the legendary exercise books.

Fun and easy
Parents of schoolchildren know firsthand howIt is difficult to explain to a child fractions or division into a column. It often happens that the child does not understand the topic at school, and parents have already forgotten the school curriculum. What to do? In such a situation the notebooks "Kumon. Mathematics".
The first notebooks of the series have already grown fond of children,parents and teachers. Each of them is designed to develop one mathematical skill. Doing just 20 minutes a day 5 times a week, you can achieve just brilliant results.
In the line of mathematical exercise books 6 levels of complexity. The first three levels are taught to add, subtract, multiply and divide primes. It's 7 different notebooks.
5 notebooks, which we tell in this newsletter, cover the following three levels of complexity. They teach:
multiply and divide many-valued numbers into a column;
work with ordinary and decimal fractions;
add, subtract, multiply and divide different fractions.

Why to teach math with Kumon - great
The series is based on a unique technique that helps each child to fully discover their potential.
The complexity of tasks grows gradually, and the child copes with every new task without problems.
In contrast to similar exercise books containingtasks on different topics, each of the notebooks "Kumon. Mathematics "develops only one skill. Such concentrated work helps the child to fully master it.
At the beginning of each notebook there are exercises forrepetition of the topics that are necessary for mastering a new skill. For example, before learning how to multiply many-valued numbers, the child is offered to solve the examples on addition and subtraction of numbers and recall the multiplication table.

Notebooks help to gain confidence in mathematical abilities, which, in turn, contributes to motivation and the desire to learn independently.
To master each skill, it is enough to practice only 20 minutes a day.
The notebooks assume an individual approach. Their creators are sure: every child must learn according to his abilities, and not by age or class.
I myself!
But that is not all. The notebooks help the child to feel independent and get real pleasure from studying.

And, of course, in the notebooks of the child waiting for a simple and understandable instruction, how to deal with:
Different tasks
In each notebook there are different types of tasks.
Simple examples
Problems
Tasks "Enter the missing values (numbers)"
Assignments with prompts
All of them will help the child learn math easily and without problems. And now about each notebook is more detailed.
