Math Level E

In Level E, students learn to add, subtract, multiply and divide fractions. Borrowing from whole numbers and efficient intermediate steps will help prepare students for more challenging computation of fractions in Level F.

● Level E Goals:

  • Review of levels A, B, C & D

  • Master adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing fractions (see attachment)

  • Decimal fraction conversions

  • Our Kumon Notebook is introduced in level E– Students are asked to write all example problems in their Kumon notebook

● Good Work Skills in this level include:

  • Using the GCF (Greatest Common Factor) to reduce fractions in ONE STEP

  • Using the LCM (Least Common Multiple) to get the smallest common denominator possible

  • Cross reducing multiplication problems in order to work with the smallest numbers possible

  • Showing ALL STEPS

  • Converting all answers to proper fractions reduced to the lowest number possible

  • Studying incorrect answers and erase only the part that is incorrect, then correct it

● Time Goal:

  • 3-4 minutes per page

  • The study time goal is 20-30 minutes per day.

  • Your Instructor will continually adjust the number of pages your child is studying to adhere to this goal

● Grading Reminders:

  • Students must be able to learn from their mistakes daily

  • Take the time to grade and let them find and correct their own errors independently

  • Students can use what they have learned and apply it to the next day’s assignment allowing them to move smoothly and independently through the assignments.
