Math Level F

In Level F, students continue calculations with fractions, now using the order of operations. Level F contains a challenging section of word problems, as well as work with decimals.

● Level F Goals:

• Review of levels A, B, C, D & E

• Master adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing THREE sets of fractions

• Four Operations

• Value of X

• Decimals

● Good Work Skills in this level include:

• Writing all example problems in their Kumon notebook

• 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/division problems in order to work with the smallest numbers possible

• Using the rules for calculating four operations

  • PEMDAS- Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally

    • P – Parenthesis

    • E – Exponents

    • M/D – Multiplication & Division (left to right)

    • A/S – Addition & Subtraction (left to right)

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

• Showing ALL STEPS

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

● Time Goal:

• 3-5 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:

• LCM answers are located next to the answers in the grade books – make sure your child is using the LCM

• 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.
