HOME SUPPLIES

I visit this site on a regular basis, especially during summer. My son is weak in long division, so I use the Math Worksheet Site during the summer to keep him fresh on the steps for long division. You can generate worksheets for addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, measurements, telling time, and graphing with or without answer sheets. You can also print out a one hundred chart. This is a great math site for all elementary math.


2) Video Placement Worldwide - Free videos on many different subjects:

I have found many gems in the ever changing Video Placement Worldwide library of free videos. You do need to register and they ask that you share the video with at least 25 students, so when we are done using the videos for our home school we place the video in our home school groups library. Our group consists of over 50 families so the movies are put to good use. VPW is slow to ship and many videos are limited supplies so be sure to order early and check their database often.


3) The Home School Mom - Free printable unit studies:

The home school mom has a huge list of free unit studies. The studies are organized by alphabet, so it may take some time if your looking for a unit study for a particular subject rather than topic. The list is added to regular and I rarely find any dead links. The home school mom also has lists of many other free home school supplies.


4) New Free Downloads - Free educational software:

Software is expensive and is not returnable so New Free Downloads is one of my favorite stops when looking for free home school supplies. New Free Downloads has loads of great freeware programs. Check out the home school and the home and education categories. My favorite software from NFD is English Language Desktop Edition. The english desktop is a complete grammar and writing reference. There are some great downloads for learning music theory, typing, cooking, and timetables. The software that I have downloaded has been free from bugs and has never caused any computer issues.
