Number bonds - the foundations for future success in maths
As a Kumon Instructor, I am sometimes asked why we require the repeated practice of basic mental addition without allowing our students to count on their fingers? If they get the right answer using their fingers, why do they need to keep practising 3+2, 8+2, and 6+2, mentally?
Why do many of our students, even those who are already dealing with multiplication or fractions at school, often start the Kumon programme on basic addition (plus 1, plus 2, plus 3) before progressing to mixed addition and subtraction, multiplication and division, fractions and higher maths?
The answer is that we are laying the foundations for future success in more advanced maths.
