My son who's now in P4 started Kumo when he's in P2 and now in level F. It's taking him quite a fair bit of time daily to do the worksheets. Was thinking to quit but feel such a waste after so much effort being put in. Some told me it's not worth the time while I feel it do help in his Maths some how or rather. Any suggestion?

My boy in level E now and he is currently in P3. I've thought of quiting too but chose not to cause he came a long way since K1 (level 7a).

His foundation is strong in term of addition/sub/multi/div and he will build in fraction and algebra... all these are very important when they go sec sch....

So you may not see the use of kumon in primary school but does not mean they will not be useful in sec sch....

So I will let my boy continue till he finishes his math program with kumon.

My boy goes to kumon since 5 years old.


I would agree that kumon do not help when comes to Pri School math (Problem sums) but you will see the result when they goes to Sec sch where math is really practical math skills

Also, he have no problem in his multiplication and division tables now
