Good morning, Welcome to our series sharing Homeschool Resources: Math or Chess for our students to use in Homeschool this week. If you’ve used these resources with your students leave me a comment and let me know what you thought of the resources and why.
Math Mammoth created by Maria Miller, a math teacher, and passionate homeschool math advocate, Math Mammoth offers a comprehensive library of PDF math worktexts, workbooks, and complete math curriculum in CD or digital download formats.
Grades 2-12, with parental supervision
This website was designed to help young children learn how to play chess. The game of chess provides intellectual stimulation while improving concentration, logical thought, and critical thinking.
When you get to the site, sign up for the free lessons. Learn about the board and the pieces. Then take some simple quizzes to get a certificate. After this, you can select a virtual opponent and level of challenge for some real practice playing chess.
Parents and teachers who wish to help guide their students through this site can select the sections designed just for them to see the syllabus, direct links to specific lessons, information about privacy, and so on. (But kids can learn a lot here independently as well!)
Chess provides opportunities for friendships, an outlet for competition, and relief from boredom. Chess is a lot of fun!
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
