A child might start by learning numbers up to ten, counting along with an assistant. More advanced students may fill in missing numbers in a number line, developing number sense.&nbsp;Where the child begins will depend on their specific abilities.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kumon.com\/math-program\" aria-label=\"Learn more about the Kumon\u00a0Math\u00a0Program and how to get started\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Learn more about the Kumon&nbsp;Math&nbsp;Program and how to get started<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By incorporating simple yet effective activities into your summer routine, your child will be prepared to take on the new school year.
