I know this topic has been covered a bit but I'm keen to hear if anyone has a new perspective on Kumon vs maths sheets for children struggling with maths.
My impression is that Kumon works really well for some kids (though not others). From what I hear structure of the program works really well for a while but after a while kids hate it and don't want to do it. The cost is massive.
My experience is that sourcing and monitoring worksheets myself is time consuming and the habit of doing them daily can slip away easily.
Haven't had much luck with maths apps or online programs. They seem to cause too much stress. Would love to hear some thoughts on best approach to help a struggling 9 year old with maths.
If you want to work on something with him, knowing number bonds to 10, then 20, then 100 and then really knowing times tables are a gift for children who struggle with maths so you could start with those. Worksheets from primary worksheets.com are great for daily practice and time table sheets can be created on timestable. Me I think.
Thanks everyone for the ideas. I've been looking through the websites. Maybe it's best to keep plugging away at the worksheets. I like the idea of Kumon but the cost is massive for basic arithmetic drills
Please try The Maths Factor, online, Carol Vorderman. Videos with useful explanations, 9.99 per month. Not at all like your usual online programs. My son loves it. If you have a child who loves computers, gadgets etc., online is the way to go and less like the traditional maths lesson.
Tutors said they enjoy being able to map out a custom improvement plan for each student based on their weaknesses and strengths. They can also track their learning progress each week with the Proficiency Matrix and customize the worksheets to make the learning process very engaging for each student. This makes sure that students get timely help as and when they need it, thus maximizing and accelerating learning outcomes consistently.

I have a 5 year old boy in reception class who also attends Kumon. He has been doing Kumon now for 8 months. I find it very difficult to get him motivated to do his Kumon intially this was not a problem but for the last 3 months I feel he has become very bored. He has started addition on the +1 and if in the mood can complete this in a matter of minutes but when not in the mood which is now most of the time it can take upto 45 mins but we normally stop him after 15 mins as advice given by kumon instructor. The Kumon instructor has now taken him back to repeat previous number worksheets to improve his handwriting. This worksheet is v easy for him. I have had a chat with the instructor and raised my concerns but he has told me that he needs to get his handwriting correct before he can move on. His handwriting can be good when he wants it to be but when he is bored his handwriting suffers.
This is what most parents would want. When my son was 5 years old and found the writing part of the Kumon hard, I kept him at the same level, even though he once took over an hour on a 10 minute worksheet. I never advised other Kumon parents to do that, but with my own child I thought it would be different. Big mistake! It worked in that it only took a week or two for him to reach the target time, but it was a miserable 2 weeks for both of us. If you do want him to stay on the same level, I suggest you ditch the pencil and do the worksheets orally, with you writing the answers, or even, do it so that your son writes 1 page, then you write the next. This should only be done for a few weeks, and your instructor would probably want to give him the same sheets again to make sure that he was able to finish them on time.
Shamefully, this is the same retort used by the new tech savvy generation for whom spell-check and mobile phone calculators have deemed a brain unnecessary. Sure, I still agree to some extent that complex maths should be done using a calculator, but basic mental arithmetic and an understanding of mathematical concepts should be basic universal knowledge. A good friend of mine (who is an actuary) volunteers as a maths teacher to adults in a South African township as he believes that it is numeracy and mathematical ability that will take people out of poverty.
I am speaking from the middle of my maths journey with my children. I cannot in all certainty confess ultimate success, nor admit to a pain and frustration free experience to date. Most of what I did and am doing is based on trial and many errors. I summate the optimum strategies that I have garnered not the entirety of my experience which contains many expletives, failures and revisions. Although I can confess that both my children are performing at the top end of their respective classes at maths, I cannot negate the real effects of genetics on this outcome. Irrespective of this, I am happy with the choices I made and so am sharing my limited insights with you, in case you may find it of value.
The Kumon Maths programme consists of 4,420 worksheets from preschool level material to high school level maths. Kumon worksheets increase marginally in difficulty from worksheet to worksheet in order for each student to advance independently.
In order for students to increase their maths ability, they must learn how to calculate quickly and accurately. Therefore, Kumon worksheets contain problems designed to develop quick, precise mental calculation skills.
In addition to the five features mentioned above, many more features have been incorporated into our small-step worksheets. Every feature is designed to ensure that students develop their self-learning ability.
As their instructor, you will continually review each student's progress as part of grading and evaluating their worksheets. This helps you fine-tune the student's individual lesson plan, if necessary. The Kumon Program also requires a special commitment on your part, as you should establish an ongoing dialogue with parents to help them stay on top of their child's progress, goals and motivation.
