regentrude Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 I am usually writing on the high school board, but today I need help for grammar stage. A friend has pulled her 1st grader out of ps really suddenly because of bullying, and she is beginning to homeschool. She asked my DD to help her with math. Can anybody recommend some free online resources - worksheet, games, ideas - that could help her get started? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3Blessings Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 MEP is a whole free curriculum. I would also advise her to check out the math drills website. They have addition and subtraction worksheets for printing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how this compares to other traditional curricula: does the Year 1 correspond to what they learn in K in ps? I can't fin the math drills website - is that part of MEP? Or is that some other address? Also, what is a good and efficient way to find out how much this kid already knows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boscopup Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Math-drills.com is probably what she's talking about. MEP Y1 is more than public schools teach in K here, but it's less than first grade. It'd be a good place to start, building a foundation.

Hunter Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 (edited) African Waldorf Waldorf is based on Grube's Method. Franklin Primary Arithmetic is also based on Grube's Method. This older version of Ray's--NOT the tan Mott Media version--is much more teacher friendly. Check your library for a copy of How to Tutor. The charts make great copywork, and can also be used for recitations. Edited September 24, 2012 by Hunter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blondeviolin Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 My older is in first grade and has completed MEP 2a. I'd consider her ahead. I do agree with the assessment that MEP 1 is more than K math but less than a typical first grade math. I'd see what the child can do and place her probably mid-way through. Do make sure the arithmetic is easy for the child, though, because the puzzles themselves are difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.... Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 My daughter is working through the videos at http://www.educationunboxed.com . You need a set of Cuisinaire rods and Base 10 blocks, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alisoncooks Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Here's a free math site, multiple grades to choose from. It's from Houghton Mifflin, who publishes textbooks for schools, so I would assume the content would be pretty comparable to whatever traditional schools are teaching. http://www.eduplace.com/math/mw/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracy Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 CSMP is a free math program. We are starting our third year with it. It is a tad more advanced than traditional curricula. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dereksurfs Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Another couple options if able to consider *very* affordable are Math Mammoth and CLE. For the low cost they are very solid programs. We're using CLE now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyforlatin Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Given that school just started, I'm not sure if the first grade assessment from MM and SM will be useful, although I've heard from friends that these days K teach simple math facts and skip counting.

Walking-Iris Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 http://www.livingmath.net/ The lesson plans aren't free, but the booklists are. I love this site for finding great "living books" for math to read to the boys. At the Lesson Plans tab there's a link called C1 Booklists --she has them listed for most grades.
