A collection of mathematics resources, curriculum options, hands-on activities, projects, and articles that homeschool families may find useful.
Free curriculum materials that can support a structured homeschool math program. The linked high school materials are especially useful for students moving toward algebra, advanced mathematics, and precalculus.
Visit Open Up ResourcesA strong K–6 option for children who enjoy puzzles, visual mathematics, and challenging problems. Useful for building number sense, reasoning, and the habit of exploring a problem instead of simply memorizing a procedure.
Visit Beast AcademyA PreK–12 curriculum option combining structured learning with interactive, visual problem solving. Families can explore it as an example of how technology and discussion can support conceptual understanding.
Visit AmplifyFree hands-on activities that let children see and manipulate mathematical ideas. Geoboards are especially useful for exploring shapes, symmetry, area, perimeter, fractions, patterns, and spatial reasoning.
Explore Geoboard ActivitiesDiscovery-style problem sets for students ready to investigate mathematics more deeply. Rather than announcing a formula first, the problems encourage learners to notice patterns, test ideas, make conjectures, and develop mathematical reasoning.
View Project MaterialsArticles and commentary about mathematics teaching and learning. A useful resource for parents who want to think more deeply about conceptual understanding, problem solving, curriculum, and how students learn mathematics.
Read Mathematical MusingsA discussion of effort and learning that can help parents think about the difference between worthwhile challenge and frustration. Useful when considering how much help to give a student who is struggling with a problem.
Read the ArticleA report examining competing approaches to mathematics instruction—the debate often called the “Math Wars.” Useful background for parents weighing procedural fluency, explicit instruction, conceptual understanding, and student-centered problem solving.
Read the ReportAn additional discussion of mathematics education and instructional thinking. Useful for parents interested in why broad claims about the “best” way to teach mathematics can overlook differences among students, topics, and learning goals.
