Here is my collection of math resources to help at homeschool. I feared this subject the most when we started homeschooling, but to my great relief, there are many terrific places to find help. Whether you need explanations of various concepts, or extra practice worksheets, these are some of my go to resources:
- WCLN.CA Math Videos – These were the video lessons most often used by my son’s homeschool program. Their website also allows you search by grade level and keyword.
- YouTube – an excellent place to try for specific math lessons. Most searches returned several videos that were helpful, and being able to filter by view count to narrow down the most popular ones saves time.
- Free Math Worksheets– Free printable Math Activity and Practice worksheets for Grades 1-6.
- Free Math Drills and Worksheets – Free printable Math worksheets with answer key included. I used these often and found them to be great for weekly practice as well as a refresher after Spring and Summer breaks.
- PHET Simulations – Free interactive simulations for practicing math concepts.
- Photomath – This smart phone app is brilliant! One click provides detailed answers to just about any math equation. Our homeschool program didn’t always give me an answer key, leaving me to hope I hadn’t made a mistake in my calculations. Photomath saved me so much time and assured me I had the correct answers. Note that I have only used the free version, and recommend this app with the caveat that their pop up ads can be annoying.
