Abstract This research project, a joint effort between Oakland University’s School of Engineering and the School District of Pontiac, reveals that supplementation with the Kumon method as a partial replacement for a traditional mathematics program appears to result in significant improvements in statewide Michigan Educational Assessment Program test scores for mathematics.

Pontiac The Pontiac School District is an inner-urban school district located near Oakland University, in Oakland County, Michigan. The performance of Pontiac students on the mathematics section of mandated state tests (Michigan Educational Assessment Program—MEAP) and nationally normed tests is below that of students in surrounding, wealthy school districts such as Rochester and Avondale. To assist Pontiac in improving their students’ mathematics skills, Oakland University teamed with Kumon, North America, Inc. (KNA) to provide a supplemental mathematics program for approximately twenty minutes per day to each student in selected elementary schools. A “bottom up” approach—improving mathematics first in the elementary school, rather than high school levels was felt to be critical. A program that excites students about mathematics works best if it is implemented at ages before the child has been turned off to mathematics.

Kumon Kumon works by providing a comfortable, incremental learning that places emphasis on back to basics building of automotacity in mathematics through practice, much in the same way children learn to play musical instruments well. The details of initial work in this Pontiac/OU/Kumon effort, and research related to why the Kumon method is so powerful, are provided in “Using the Kumon Method to Revitalize Mathematics in an Inner Urban School District,” which was presented at the 2003 ASEE Annual Conference. Results are presented in this poster for the three schools that implemented the program.
