Good morning, how are you? This beautiful Monday morning? Before I head out to the storage building, I wanted to bring you our Homeschool Resources: Math. Would you take a look at the websites and let me know if you’ve used these resources with your students or not.
Hands-On Equations
Hands-On Equations is a supplemental program for students that can be used with any Math curriculum. Hands-On Equations uses the visual and kinesthetic approach developed by Dr. Henry Borenson to provide students with an Algebraic foundation for success with Algebra.
The Tangram Channel– All grades, with parental supervision
A Tangram is an ancient Chinese puzzle made with seven flat pieces called tans. By combining these seven tans, thousands of shapes or pictures can be made that help teach Geometric concepts including shape recognition, area, perimeter, symmetry, etc. Plus, it improves problem-solving skills.
This website offers terrific information about Tangrams along with free puzzles and solutions. When you get to the site, read what a Tangram is and read its brief history. Scroll down the page to locate free printables (a link to the Teachers Pay Teachers website where you can join for free and download any free resource).
Then look at the menu at the top of the page and use it to explore:
- Tangram Puzzles
- Tangram Solutions
- Crafts & Activities
- And much more!
This site provides a great way to engage in some hands-on geometry with tangrams!
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
