FREE MATH RESOURCES FOR HOMESCHOOLERS
Are you homeschooling? Are your kids on track with math? Whether you (and they) enjoy it or not, math is one of those topics that's non-negotiable.
Even if you're only teaching “real world” topics or unschooling, math is needed. You can skip lots of concepts, but this isn't one of them. 🙂
tips for teaching math at home
Whether you have a reluctant learner, or a kid that can't get enough math worksheets throughout the day, Math is one of those subjects that parents either love or hate to teach. Total transparency here… I'm on the hate side. Anything past 6th grade math and I'm just staring at the letters and numbers mixing together, slowly blinking, hoping it'll disappear if I ignore it long enough. Lucky for me (ha!), my daughter lovvvves math and always wants to learn more. Woo hoo…

Plain and Not So Plain… where do I start? This woman not only has ten children she homeschools, she also designed a complete curriculum – FOR FREE – for grades 1 through 9. The curriculum is thorough and each lesson is right there on her blog so you don't have to click around a million times. She is very open about her religion, so if you are secular you may want to avoid some of it, but I think everyone should check her website out. I'm in awe of it, and her!
Moby Max
Moby Max is what many of the schools use for supplemental math. Some even use it to cover the majority of their curriculum. It's free, but a paid subscription offers extra features. I've always used the free version with plenty of success. My girls all love Moby Max and ask to “play” on it frequently.

Since the 1980s, schools in Singapore have taken an innovative approach to teaching elementary math — a curriculum that focuses on problem solving with pictures and diagrams.
6 Reasons Singapore math might be better

As a parent, teaching my children really gives me a headache. Plus, I am also struggling explaining it to them. I also tried an online math school tutorial. This is also recommended if you are too lazy to teach your kids on your own. I recommend Learn ZOE online math school tutorial. It helped my children a lot in learning math. Plus they give you a customized-math program suitable for your kids.
