Homeschooling Math Resources

As I sit here and think about how best to compile this list, I realize that it may be a bit long and its
probably best if I start off slow and work my way up to a crescendo. Im pretty conversational and this
is aimed at children so Ill make an effort to write accordingly.
This list has been compiled for @empress from www.voat.co and this is version 1.0 of the list. Why did
I version it? Well, I may feel a compelling need to add more and make this an even bigger resource or
may find sites worth adding to the list.

Dont thank me, thank her for having allowed me to compile this. My only interest is in seeing people
understand the beauty that is the language (and philosophy) of mathematics.

A collection of varied math resources for a variety of ages:

https://www.homeschoolmath.net/

A collection of links for people who have difficulty learning the language of mathematics, be it
dyslexia or autism or otherwise:
https://homeschoolingwithdyslexia.com/100-best-resources-struggle-math/

A collection of resources thats separated into categories, note that many of these arent free resources:
https://blog.educents.com/mega-homeschool-math-post/

Some more math teaching resources (some appear to be free) and mostly aimed at younger students:

Math from a homeschooling mom with four kids:

This is called Math for Grown Ups, but its really for remedial studies and will work excellent for teens
who are sure to be happy to be treated as if theyre grown up:
http://mathforgrownups.com/

Natural Math, which is learning from experience:

http://www.naturalmath.com/

Math For Love because who everyone loves math:

http://mathforlove.com/
The Republic of Math this one tends to be a bit deeper but its always a struggle to learn a new
language (and mathematics is a language):

Math Dudes podcast:

Numberphile even I watch this one! Its fantastic! It is often very, very advanced but the creators do a
very, very good job at making things understandable and accessible:

Math logic and math problems, a curated site thats quite interesting for most every level. Its important
to remember that mathematics is a language thats most often used to make logical statements. The
basis for the Philosophy of Mathematics (which is what the expressive language that is mathematics
concerns itself with) is logic. The great philosophers of math followed logicism.

Are we having a good time yet? I love math! You too can love math! If you dont, thats probably
because you werent ever taught math and only learned arithmetic. Its a beautiful, poetic, expressive
language that helps us define the world around us.

How about we stop letting me type, and let some other people get a few words in?

This is Wolfram Alpha this site belongs in your favorites EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT A STUDENT!
It will happily do calculations for you and they have a fantastic set of resources. You already have this
in your favorites, right?
http://www.wolframalpha.com/

Seeing as youre already going to that site, you might as well learn what youre doing:
http://mathworld.wolfram.com/

Tip: Just highlight a math problem and right click on it. Then, you select Search with Google and
chances are good that Google will happily give you the answer. They actually have a scientific
calculator at Google. Have some information:

Here, have a bunch of math cheat sheets its not really cheating and every mathematician will
eventually compile their own. Id show you mine but itd not make sense to you. Thats not a
pejorative, it no longer makes sense to me! Ive been retired for over a decade:

How about a mathematical terms dictionary for children?
http://www.amathsdictionaryforkids.com/

You might just as well learn what all those squiggly symbols mean, right? Well, Wikipedia is actually a
good resource for this and other math subjects:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mathematical_symbols

Tip: You can download Wikipedia articles in PDF, the link is on the left.

I often get people who have, for some strange reason, an urge to argue about the nature of mathematics.
This amuses me because they are usually poorly educated and Im actually a recognized expert on the
subject. (Thats pretty much what the fancy Ph.D. means though it really stands for Doctor of
Philosophy.) So, with that in mind, Im going to take a minute to post a couple of links:

Yes, the philosophy of mathematics is both real and is what math is premised on:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophy_of_mathematics

Yes, mathematics is a language:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_of_mathematics

If thats not enough to draw your own conclusions, then allow me to tie it together for you:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundations_of_mathematics

Thats the beauty of mathematics. The wonderful thing about it is that we mathematicians will still
fight and argue over some of this stuff. Dont ever get a mathematician started on subjects like infinity
or randomness. Chances are, they have opinions and are quite vocal about them!

Where were we?

Oh, yes, we were going to offer you this resource. This is a site dedicated to teaching mathematics and
has a great deal of information. However, Id like to link to a specific page within the site its a
collection of things you may want to have in order to give instruction in mathematics:
https://www.mathteaching.org/math-teacher-resources-lesson-plans-games-more/

This is my alma mater! As this is geared towards homeschooling, Im not sure many students will be
interested in this. However, you may have a child thats very inquisitive and so Id be silly to not link to
one of my favorite resources. I do admit that Im biased! (Im a beaver, youre a beaver, we are beavers
all!) Err We didnt have much for sports so forgive us for not having a fantastic fight song. Where
was I?

You should probably sign up for this newsletter and bookmark this site, trust me on this!

I cant just not link this, its a good resource. Its very approachable and they do a good job on a variety
of topics:
http://www.khanacademy.org/

Heres a bunch of resources in a single page. It was in my favorites and that means I felt it was
important at some point. Some of them are pretty good and some will be things Ive already linked to
which means theyre twice as good!
http://www.purplemath.com/lessons.htm

Heres a ton of resources, thats about all I can say. If youre needing to do lesson plans and want to
find some great resource material, this would be a great place to go:
http://www.mathscentre.ac.uk/

I am assuming the person making this page is blind or going for an award in the most horribly designed
website. However, its a pretty good set of lessons that go in order:
http://www.themathpage.com/Arith/arithmetic.htm

This has some pretty advanced stuff, but you might as well have it. Note, some of this is grad level stuff
but its pretty approachable with a good foundation in mathematics:
http://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/

Milnes course notes! Err Yeah This one is particularly advanced but this is the kind of stuff youll
be expected to know as an undergrad in a STEM major:
http://www.jmilne.org/math/CourseNotes/index.html

This one is from MIT again! They sure have some brilliant people, huh?!? (Again, I might be biased.)
Anyhow, its a collection, a curated list even, of places to go learn some math:

Now, shut up and calculate!
