Math and Science Resources

Hello fellow homeschool families,

Math is one of the subjects I constantly need assistance teaching.  In my search for help teaching math and math curriculum, I ran accross Maria Miller and her website HomeschoolMath. I signed up for her emails and newsletters and have been very pleased with her resources. Ocassionally Maria passes on great information from other websites that can help in various subjects. Earlier this summer I tried the link she shared for Aurora Lipper from Supercharged Science and it is a fantastic resource. 

I've included information about Maria and Homeschool Math from her website as well as an email she just sent out today.  I hope you try the links and discover how the information can help you with your homeschooling.  

Sincerely,
Your friends @Christian HomeSchoolers Beaufort

HomeschoolMath.net is a comprehensive math resource site for homeschooling parents, parents, and teachers. You'll find:

  • free worksheets;

  • affordable math books;

  • an extensive list of online math games & resources;

  • a homeschool math curriculum guide;

  • math teaching articles/lessons. You might also enjoy my monthly newsletter and my blog. Lastly, but not least, check out my math teaching videos at Youtube.
    The author, Maria Miller, is a math teacher who became a homeschooler and a work-at-home mom. The resources here emphasize understanding of concepts instead of mechanical memorization of rules.
    I have also authored many math books, including a complete math curriculum for grades 1-6. These books are at my Math Mammoth site. Check out the free samples!



  • Hi again,

    I happen to have three different school subjects in this email: science, math, and music.



    First the science. This sounds really good: free science kits & a solar oven!

    Aurora Lipper (from Supercharged Science) will be giving away lots of cool science kits during her online tele-class tomorrow on Renewable energy.

    You're invited to participate -- for free. Just click here to reserve your spot.

    I heard there are already nearly 2000 people registered! If you've never experienced one, you definitely don't want to miss it. You and your kids will actually build a working solar oven during the class!

    Also, Aurora will be giving away hundreds of dollars worth of free science kits during the class!

    To register, visit this link now:

    If you know anyone else who might be interested in the class, please forward this email to them.

      Go to www.mathmammoth.com first, then find the links to Kagi's order pages. Or use these direct links:



    Lastly, piano lessons. I've finally gotten some piano videos of mine uploaded...
    Go check outwww.pianolessons4children.com/lessons

    These lessons are especially geared towards children and parents, and piano teachers who teach children. I explain everything in very simple terms so that if you're a parent, you can learn with your child without any prior knowledge of the piano.

    I have a LOT more ideas that I want to develop and include in that site. It just takes a lot of work!

    All the best,

    Maria
