Kumon method was founded in 1958 by Mr Toru Kumon,
who was a senior high school math teacher.
When he taught his son math, he found the traditional text book
so boring that it could hardly arouse any interest in children.
Mr Toru Kumon believed that children's potential in math could be
totally developed with a self-study and independent learning method
supported by a gradual progress which is designed according to their
own abilities.
The
Kumon Math Materials
cover from pre-school to University level Math.
