Be careful of the wrong “preemptive learning”! ? The fees for “RISU Mathematics” and “RISU Kids” have been significantly revised for the first time. By making it easier to start early, we support good advance learning.
*RISU Mathematics will change its fee structure to make it easier to pay in advance. *
RISU provides tablet-based correspondence education services such as “RISU Mathematics” and “RISU Kids” for infants to elementary school students.
Japan Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Tomotaka Imaki) will revise the basic fees and usage fees for RISU Mathematics and RISU Kids from September 1st (Sunday). Along with the price change, we will also be running a campaign to support students getting ahead of the curve in math.
For other price changes, please see here *Background behind RISU Japan’s support for proactive initiatives* In recent years, families have begun to move forward with their entrance exams, such as elementary school entrance exams and junior high school entrance exams, in order to be able to receive a high-quality education based on the school’s own educational policy and to receive consistent education up to university entrance exams. is increasing. In addition, private schools are attracting more attention due to their quick response to school closures due to the coronavirus pandemic and their improved facilities.
Against this background, with the increase in the number of test takers, the difficulty of test questions has increased, and
“pre-learning” has become necessary.
*Notes on preemptive learning*
There are two types of preemptive learning: “good preemptive learning” and “bad preemptive learning.”
Pre-emptive learning is a topic that tends to polarize opinions.
*RISU
Japan believes that it is important to discern the difference between “good pre-learning” and “bad pre-learning” rather than judging whether pre-emptive learning itself is good or bad. *
Good anticipatory learning is not a goal in itself, but learning that progresses naturally as a result of satisfying the child’s desire to learn.
On the other hand, “bad preemption” refers to a situation in which “preemption” becomes the goal before you know it. Because they place emphasis on inputting knowledge and comparing themselves with those around them, they may dislike studying and may start to look down on those around them.
*Characteristics of RISU Mathematics in the trend of anticipatory education* * RISU Mathematics has the following characteristics in order to achieve “good thinking ahead”. *
〇No grade system & small steps
RISU uses a non-graded curriculum, which allows students to easily study ahead of time with small steps and fewer questions.
〇 Through data analysis, the best questions are delivered to each individual. We constantly collect and analyze learning data for each child. It will keep your child motivated without being too difficult so they won’t be able to keep up, or too easy that they will get bored.
〇Learn math for junior high school entrance exams
RISU Mathematics has a curriculum that allows you to thoroughly study the basics of junior high school entrance exams, making it perfect for families who want to prepare for junior high school entrance exams and children who want to challenge higher-level problems than those taught in school. is.
* We got ahead with RISU math and got great results! *
*Actual testimonials from RISU graduates and current students who have successfully studied ahead of time*
〇HR who passed the exam at Kaisei Junior High, Kaijo Junior High, Hongo Junior High, Ichikawa Junior High, and Hakodate La Salle I’m really glad that I was able to acquire the habit of “working on learning math every day.”
* The “attitude to approach problems carefully” and “the tenacity to tackle difficult problems without giving up” that I developed at RISU were greatly utilized in studying for the entrance exam. * Since I had acquired basic knowledge of mathematics when I started attending cram school, math remained my favorite subject even after I started cram school. ”
〇Mr. S passed the entrance exam to Miyagi Prefectural Sendai Nika Junior High School, the most difficult entrance exam in the
prefecture.
“If I hadn’t finished math at RISU, I don’t think I would have been able to get to the starting line to take the exam.The reason I was able to pass the exam while continuing my studies in sports, music, etc.
I am grateful to RISU for allowing me to study ahead of time naturally and effortlessly without having to be conscious of taking the test.”*
〇Mr. KR, a second grade elementary school student, won first place in his prefecture on the national unified elementary school test. “I used to study using other tablet materials, but *
I got bored because the content was no different from school problems. At RISU, students can work on what they want to do at their own pace, regardless of their grade level, and they say they especially enjoy the special problems. *
The “teacher videos” are easy to understand, and the point program is also encouraging. ”
〇Mr. NN passed the math test at the level of a 6th grade elementary school student as a 3rd grader.
“Currently, I’m learning ahead of the 6th grade subjects.Many of the problems in the upper grades seem difficult, and sometimes I can’t find the answer right away, but I’ve worked on them repeatedly until I understand them.*
I think it’s unique to RISU that you can look back on what you’ve done so far and work on it again and again when you forget. My daughter was very happy that she passed the exam, but also that she got a perfect score. *
”
* We will be holding an advance learning campaign! *
At the same time as the change in usage fees, RISU will be holding a “preemptive learning campaign” for members to support “preemptive learning.”
We are planning to give away luxurious prizes to those who make the most progress in RISU Math and RISU Kids during the campaign period. *Campaign period*
From September 10, 2024 to October 31, 2024
In addition, RISU has established a “Mathematics Examination Expense Support System” as advance support.
This is a support system in which RISU will cover the entire cost of taking the test if you pass the math test held by the Japan
Mathematics Test Association in a grade higher than the test taker’s grade level.
