My child was in Kindergarten when I was first introduced to Kumon. We started with 10 pages a day and she quickly got board and hated the worksheets. The instructor seemed annoyed that she wasn't paying attention at 5 years old,so we stopped it. I put her in a private school that was about 40 minutes from house and a couple of people said that has success with the Kumon center close to the school. She was in 4th grade. I checked it out and it was completely. There were so many things that the instructor didn't tell us. First the 10 pages is just an arbitrary starting point. It should take a child especially if there are young about 15-20 minutes to complete a subject(if they are not fooling around). If it takes you longer than that, you can do less pages until you get the concept down. Kumon comes in packets of 10, so you can do 10 pages per day, 5 pages per day, a cycle of 4 pages one day and 3 pages the next two days, 2 pages a day or 1 page a day. When you get to one page a day you are usually in a higher level math. If it's taking your child a long time, have them go to the instructor and review a concept or decrease the # of pages. The Kumon center where we go is a little chaotic because if a child doesn't know how to something and they don't understand from the teacher the center director will work with them personally. Also if they don't get on the regular day, she has additional appointment times to work with your child personally in a less chaotic environment on another day. My daughter was still counting on her fingers when we went to Kumon the second time. Now she's in the seventh grade and can whiz through algebra. One other thing that is good is the prizes they give out for doing the work. You accumulate so many points and you get prizes. This will help for the older child. My Kumon center also gives out 5.00 gifts cards to either toys r us, borders or game stop when you have done 100 packets. Kumon has been successful for us, however it's not for everyone. It can be boring for the kids. My daughter doesn't like doing them but she doesn't like doing her regular homework either, but I stress it as a priority. If you are not going to do at home grading and make them correct the packets , you are wasting you and your child's time. Another thing, I've seen parents come in and try to keep pushing there kids to the next level even though they didn't fully understand the current level. Sometimes they will have to repeat- it's for their benefit. Also I put my younger daughter in and she liked going to the center, but she also got bored with the work at home. Other parents have told me that Kumon was working well for their young child, you have to see if it works for you. Kumon does not follow the school curriculum, they do basic math skills. It does go all the way up to college level calculus and there are some children who do this. One thing Kumon doesn't have the critical thinking like Enopi does. I haven't checked out Enopi but I plan to at least for my 4 year old at first and who knows I might like it better than Kumon. I hope this helped anyone who is considering Kumon and anyone who is currently struggling with Kumon. One thing that I have learned about Kumon is that all of the centers are not created equal.

It shows they never followed the method correctly. If someone wants to make a choice a go with another methodology that is fine; but they should not be missled as to what Kumos is. I was a Kumon instructor and I can tell you that the only students that ever where successful where those who had parents that were honest and that followed the rules of Kumos. A student will NEVER be required to do math for an hour in one day. The time is usually 7 to 15 minutes per day. Kumon is about mastery and NOT about repetition. Parents DO NOT understand at all Kumon. The only thing is that to be successful in KUMON you MUST do exactly what the instructor tells you to do. You should not lie about the times your child takes to do the work and you should do the work every day for 10 minutes. If you don't you will fail 100%.

How to make the plants vs zombies standees: 1. Have the images printed on tarpaulin 2. (Stick) glue the tarpaulin to a rubber-like mat (I don't know what's it called but it seems to be the same material used for making mouse pads). 3. Cut 4. We used card board to support the standees.
