GET READY GO: MATH ANSWERS April 21st Edition

Periodically I Post a "Get Ready, Go!" Post on our Free Homeschooling 101 Facebook Site that looks something like this...

"When I say "Go", everyone post the most useful Free MATH Website you use with/for your children: GO!!"

For the next 30 minutes, the thousands of members on the site who happen to notice the post will ZOOM into action posting about their FAVORITE sites for their children. I then come along and post the answers to our fun little blog here.

Before Reading the list below...I recommend sitting down and writing a note to yourself about what you NEED for your homeschool for each child.  (Interactive? Worksheets?  Basic Math?  Higher Levels?)

AFTER you write the note THEN check out the links.  Pick 1 or 2 per child to help with schooling for one semester then come back when you are ready to reevaluation the educational NEEDS of each child.  This will help to keep us from getting overwhelmed with the options on this list. 

Are you Ready?!
