Math Helps

By Leave a Comment

This Old Schoolhouse continues to send out their Friday Freebies.

Sept 13 contained these math ones:
Games, games, games

Worksheets and Printable games on math

In other places I found these:
SoftSchools.

Toon University has these two sites: grades 4-6 and grades 1-3, I think they are a little stupid in how they “reward” the correct answer. But I’m not a child so perhaps I’m a bit out of it. 🙂

This one seems neat. Actually gives some examples of how to do different math. Called Coolmath4kids. Taught me again how to teach long division.

This math game page actually contains how to’s with printouts. So not done so much on-line as it is in real-life.

I haven’t checked this site out a whole lot, seemed a bit more advanced at first glance, but Free math Help might be a good site to check out sometime.

I do find it surprising just how many sites there are on-line to help with math.

Math for Kindergarten

By 3 Comments

From what I’ve been able to determine, math for kindergarten means teaching

EQUAL and NOT EQUAL LESS THAN and GREATER THAN MAKING TWO GROUPS EQUAL

That these concepts lay the foundation not only for arithmetic, but also for algebraic thinking.One also needs to teach the basic number families 0 – 20.

I can do this! 🙂

Some places to go from printables and such like:
Free Kindergarten math sheets.

Not sure how do able this will be…it’s all online, Kindergarten math.

AAA math lists some Kindergarten math topics.

once again, not sure how doable this is for kindgarten children, but it’s an idea generator in the very least. 🙂 From Harcourt school publishers.

Kindergarten Math Worksheets. These pages look doable.

lots of math pages here at this about.com page on Kindergarten math sheets.

Ideas for make it yourself math worksheets from Lesson Exchange.

Unit Studies

Corresponding with this post over at Fisher of Disciples, Here are some places to find unit studies that are already made. Need to be purchased for the most part.

Amanda Bennett’s Unit Studies.

Heart of Wisdom Publishers has unit studies.

homeschooling at Sassafras Grove has some unit studies. Took a quick breeze through the site and wow! Using this will save me time and energy. 😉

Family Classroom. net has unit studies, free, already made up for use. Might make good base for developing unit studies of my own.

From Homeschool in the woods comes this unit study on Christmas.

Home School Learning Network lists units of study I would not have thought of on my own. They give actual studies too! This site also have unit studies that you can purchase, and a whole whack available through a subscription program.

Zone Unit Studies has some fairly basic studies as far as I can tell. Might be a source of inspiration. 🙂

Home Sweet homeschool lists a fair number of resources. Worth checking it sometime.

Autumn

By Leave a Comment

The Old Schoolhouse has once again, sent out a treasure of freebies. 🙂

This focus of this one is Autumn stuff, goes to figure since well….summer is technically over. 🙂

First up… I really like this, It comes from treasure house press. A PDF file of the science of autumn.

It’s called “The Science of Autumn” (and trees!) and looks like loads of fun! There are activity pages, informational write-ups, notebooking pages, web resources and more!

Next up is a page loaded with Fall craft ideas for children. Bookmarks, place mats, ponytail holders. Fun for children. More can be found here and here.
