Math Level O

In Level O, students first study advanced differentiation and applications of differential calculus, then continue with an in-depth study of advanced integration and its applications. The level concludes with differential equations and various O 55a application problems using calculus.

● Level O Goals:

  • Advanced Differentiation

  • Increasing and Decreasing Functions

  • Concavity and Tangent Lines

  • Maxima and Minima

  • Applications of Differential Calculus

  • Indefinite Integrals

  • Definite Integrals

  • Advanced Integration

  • Applications of Integrals

  • Differential Equations

● Good Work Skills in this level include:

  • Reading directions and examples carefully

  • Writing all example problems in the Kumon notebook

  • Showing ALL STEPS

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

● Time Goal:

  • 17-34 minutes per page

  • The study time goal is approximately 30 minutes per day.

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

● Solution Manuals:

  • Solution Manuals are available for check out by students

  • Solution Manuals show the student step by step how to do Kumon problems

  • If the student gets stuck, they may study the Solution Manual to learn how to do the steps correctly

  • Once they have studied the steps, they should close the manual and then attempt the problem set

  • They should not copy out of the Solution Manual

● 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.
