Silver_Kitten Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 It's a little late for me after a long day, so I'm posting the question, and perhaps you all can help me find the right direction. My daughter is a very hands-on learner. After a LOT of trial and error, I'm learning where she needs the hands-on materials at. So for the rest of this year, 6th grade, I"m going to find what I can online. I'm looking for 7th grade and up to or through high school, items I can incorporate into our schooling through the year, as money allows, unless it's free. Grammar/Writing Mathematics Science - I'm looking at Noeo Science History - I'm looking at History Odyssey Level 2, which we are doing ancients this year and it is going okay. American History Thank you for any and all help. Jess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mukmuk Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 For math, look at http://www.aimsedu.org. It has a lot of hands on activities for various grade levels. The ones I would recommend are these: http://store.aimsedu.org/aims_store/essential-math/ We tried nearly all of them and they're terrific for hands on learning. They have good science ones as well. I'm looking for hands on science as well, so these are what various posters have pointed me to and plan to use (after I sift through): -CPO science -GEMs -Ellen McHenry -TOPS Mr Q also looks good.

Silver_Kitten Posted September 21, 2012 Author Share Posted September 21, 2012 Thank you, I showed my daughter the math and she is asking when I think we can get it. I notice there are a lot of little units, where would I start? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mukmuk Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 We never did the smaller units but there are samples you can download, if I remember correctly. We only did the books, which were mostly super. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaz Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Both of my kids loved the American history simulations through Scholastic. They are inexpensive and fabulous! Here's the one for pioneers. My dd loves Hands and Hearts History Kits. They offer quite a bit of learning along with well put together art/crafts/etc. from each time period.
