Homeschooled
“Education & Enrichment beyond the classroom”
WELCOME TO OUR
PARENTS' CORNER
Resources:
There are so many choices when it comes to homeschool curriculum and what approach to take. However, I have found that just about EVERYTHING you need can be found online and for free. There are some excellent sites that charge a small fee to use their educational sites and the ones I have included on this list are well worth the price. Also, keep in mind that most public libraries have subscriptions to many educational sites, that as a card holder you can use remotely from your computer. They will also consider buying a subscription to a particular site if there is enough interest.
If there are any sites that you feel should be included on this page, please feel free to send me an email and I will include them.
Math:
-
Free Math Worksheets from Homeschool Math has several worksheet generators that can create a variety of worksheets for you. You can customize the worksheets with many varied options, so can make them easy or difficult according to the student's level, with lots or less problems, with big or small fonts, etc. Each time you get a different worksheet since they are generated randomly. Choose a topic from the menu below.
