Curiosity and confidence may be two different qualities, but both play an important role in a child’s academic development. When children are curious about solving problems, they become motivated to learn on their own. Similarly, when a child has developed confidence, he or she feels encouraged to learn more and explore their own ideas. Utilizing both curiosity and confidence, the Kumon Math Program can nurture and instill a love of math in your child.
As discussed in the “Empowering Your Child through Reading” blog post, the Kumon Reading Program is designed to foster a lifelong love of reading in students. Similarly, the Kumon Maths Program strives to equip students with the skills needed to solve complex maths problems in algebra and calculus. Research has shown that students who struggle with math are less likely to want to continue doing math as a result of a decreased confidence. Consequently, students are likely to continue struggling and encounter greater difficulty as they attempt to achieve long-term success.
Guided by Kumon Instructors, students are given the opportunity to develop their math skills by beginning the program at a comfortable starting point. This helps build their confidence so they can familiarize themselves with the structure of the Kumon Program.
As students progress, they continue to develop the confidence required to tackle increasingly difficult problems. During this stage, new concepts begin to stimulate their curiosity, which encourages them to learn and discover new ways of thinking and solving problems. That confidence and curiosity leads Kumon Students to enjoy math and achieve success.
