Its time for us to share our latest Homeschool Resources: Math. If you have used these resources leave me a comment and let me know what you liked or disliked about the resources and why.
MathHelp.com is a popular online video Math Curriculum that covers Pre-Algebra, Algebra I & II, Geometry as well as PSAT/NMSQT, SAT, and ACT Math Test Prep, and access to tutoring for 5th and 6th-grade Math.
Grades 6-9, with parental supervision
This site offers free video lessons, worksheets and quizzes for middle school math plus Algebra I.
When you get to the website, you’ll see a menu of the video math lessons. Each grade year is divided into 4 quarters. Each math lesson includes:
- A 10-15 minute video that teaches a math concept
- A printable worksheet to practice the concept
- An online quiz to test comprehension of the concept
As the announcement explained, after Mr. Lisle shows the student how to do a problem, you can “pause” the video, try a similar problem, and then advance the video to see Mr. Lisle demonstrate the solution.
Mr. Lisle clearly presents the material that will help students understand math concepts such as:
- Multiplying and Dividing Fractions and Mixed Numbers
- Fraction-Decimal Equivalency
- Solving Algebraic Expressions
- Converting Units of Measure
- Graphing Linear Equations
Our only criticism is that sometimes Mr. Lisle lapses into a monotone presentation style that may lose a student’s attention. To avoid that, we suggest watching one lesson, do some activities, take a break and then return to watch another lesson.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
