Homework headaches?

Here are some Helpful Links to help with those hard answers.

 


 The Internet Public Library  ~ http://www.ipl.org/div/kidspace/   

* An exhaustive roundup of educational links, developed by a consortium of colleges and universities, complete with a homework help section.  Does your child need an idea for the science fair?  This site leads you to a link of projects with instructions.
--------------------------------------------
Fact Monster ~ http://www.factmonster.com/   

* From the folks at Information Please/Pearson Education comes an attractive, easy-to-navigate reference site.  Flash cards, multiplication tables, history timelines, and biographies of U.S. presidents...they're all here.
--------------------------------------------
Kid Info ~ http://www.kidinfo.com/   

* Created by retired teacher Lina Guterba, this site categorizes links according to the curriculum covered in most U.S. schools, be it ancient Rome or the solar system.  You'll also discover online atlases, dictionaries and encyclopedias.
--------------------------------------------
Math.com ~ http://www.math.com/parents/helpyourkids.html

* If you've forgotten what an integer is, you'll need this site's arithmetic refresher courses.  From basic addition and subtraction to ratios, algebra and geometry, it takes you through the steps of finding a solution.
--------------------------------------------
National Geographic Kids ~ http://kids.nationalgeographic.com/

* Take a virtual tour of the natural world, including its people and places, flora and fauna. When your third-grader asks you the name of the red-eyed tree frog or the population of China and travel here.

B.J. Pinchbeck's Homework Helper ~ http://www.bjpinchbeck.com/

* Recommended by the University of North Carolina School of Education and other educational institutions, this one-stop 411 was created by a 9-year-old with his dad.  That was 12 years ago and B.J. is still offering more than 800 updated links to subject matters from art to social studies...even recess.  You'll also find links to study guides, such as studygs.net, that can help your child with time management and other learning skills.
