Adding value to
your child's future
KUMON METHOD
OF MARKING MATHS—FOR
PARENTS
Your Kumon
Education Centre
THE KUMON
COMMITMENT
As you now know Kumon is a
daily commitment. It is
expected that your child
completes at least one
workbook per day. To just do
the workbook is NOT ENOUGH!
It needs to be marked and
corrected so that every single
page has a score of 100%.
Your child’s Kumon is NOT
finished unless he/she has fixed
every mistake in their assigned
workbook for that day.
To go on to the next workbook
without having corrected the
last workbook is detrimental to
your child’s learning process.
MARKING KEY:
A large neat
circle is
placed on the
page with no
errors.
Place a tick
through the
question number
of any incorrect or
un-attempted questions.
Place a triangle
on the question
number for any
question that
has been attempted
however, is incomplete.
An example of this is
when a student has not
reduced a fraction to the
lowest possible term.
NB. Please note that a
tick would be placed
through the question
number for a fraction that
has not been reduced to
the lowest possible term
where the purpose of the
exercise is to reduce frac-
tions to the lowest possi-
ble term.
MARKING MATHS FRONT PAGE There are two scenarios you can end up with after
a Kumon workbook has been corrected:
Scenario 1—No mistakes were made. To indicate
this write a large 100% inside the circle on the front
page as shown below. A congratulatory comment can add a nice touch also.
Scenario 2—Mistakes were made. To indicate that
mistakes were made first time through and they are
now all correct write a 100% outside the circle on the
front page OR in the top left hand corner of the front
page as shown below. A regular comment of en-
couragement is always appreciated too.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Always use a red pen
Always write neatly
Use the appropriate answer book
Sides a & b are considered as one page
GRADING (Please use a RED pen)
If there are NO mistakes then circle both
sides of the page. Write 100 in the top right-hand
corner of side a to indicate that all questions are
correct on side a & b.
Tick the question number if the answer is
wrong. Each tick has a value of 1 point.
Place a triangle on the question number for any
question that has been attempted however, is
incomplete. An example of this is when your
child has not reduced a fraction to the lowest
possible term. See Marking Key for more details.
Count up the mistakes and then circle the
appropriate letter, A, B, C or D on the ‘Grade
Graph’ at top right-hand corner of side a that
corresponds to the total number of mistakes
made on side a and b. A tick is worth one mark
while a triangle is worth ½ a mark.
IF YOUR CHILD IS SELF-MARKING ENSURE
HE/SHE CLOSES THE ANSWER BOOK TO FIX
THEIR MISTAKES.
When the mistakes have been fixed use the
answer book to re-check the answers to ensure
each answer is now correct and if so then circle
the tick/triangle and write 100 at the top right-
hand corner on side a. This page is now finished.
Keep in mind it may take more than one attempt
to correct an answer.
