If you have a kid who is allergic to Math, you would understand why I am always on the lookout for creative Math resources. I’ve thrown out all the books that have made Mars cry (oh, I kid you not…) and have embarked on The Smarty Pants Math Club :P It’s really just a funny name for our Math lessons (got the idea from Marilyn Burns’ Math for Smarty Pants). We are using CIMT’s Mathematics Enhancement Programme (free! ahem!), living Math resources and worksheets we’ve downloaded online.

Dad’s Worksheets is one of the sites we are using for additional exercises. This dad has reviews of Math books and resources he has used, downloadable handwriting and graph paper, Spaceship Math (oh, my kids love them catchy names :P) and tonnes of worksheets (5,137 and counting!!)… all FREE!

So pay the site a visit… it is really all that and a bag of chips :)

We are totally off crafts this Ramadan save needlework but I know that these will appeal to some of you :) I’ve not looked into all the videos - we’ve only just viewed the craft ones so let me know what you think of the channel.

If you and your kids like History, then check out Museum of London’s teacher resources.

The site has online and printable resources on Prehistoric London (500,000BC to 43AD), Roman London (43-410AD), Anglo-Saxon, Viking, Medieval and Tudor London (410AD-1558), Stuart, Commonwealth and Hanoverian London (1558-1837), Victorian and Edwardian London (1837-1913), First and Second World War (1914-1945), Postwar to the present (1946-) and London’s Black history.

Ah… freebies… gotta love ‘em. :)

OK… loads … and I mean boatloads … the MOTHERLOAD (!) of free awesome goodness in the way of educational videos.
