Umm Tafari of River City Homeschoolers has put together a wonderful gem – an Earth Science Curriculum for free ma shaa Allah. (YES! Free!! Woo hoo!!) She has provided a book list, recommended websites, links to videos and best of all, references from the Qur’an.
Jazakillah khayran Umm Tafari :) May Allah reward you and your family with the best in this world and the hereafter, ameen.
The Centre for Innovation in Mathematics Teaching (CIMT) was established in 1986. The centre is a focus for research and curriculum development in Mathematics teaching and learning, with the aim of unifying and enhancing mathematical progress in schools and colleges. This CIMT Web-site was started in May 1995, and moved to University of Plymouth servers at the end of July 2005.
The Mathematics Enhancement Programme has been the Centre’s main focus over the past few years. The Mathematics Enhancement Programme set out to implement in UK schools the findings of international research.
There is a full set of curriculum resources for Primary and Secondary schools, including pupil texts, lesson plans, classroom resources, assessment materials and on-line interactive resources. These are resources for kids from Reception to ‘A’ Levels.

It looks like a wonderful syllabus – I love that stories are used. The curriculum junkie in me is considering stocking up on papers and cartridges…
My elder daughter hated Math when we began homeschooling years ago. (She takes after me I think!) She and Math have reached some kind of a truce but it is still a volatile relationship :) Anyway, I looked into many Math resources and over the years, found a few gems that some of you might find useful because they are free! Woo hoo again! Here’s one to start off:
The same site that gave you Rader’s Chem4Kids, Biology4Kids, Cosmos4Kids, Physics4Kids and Geography4Kids have come up with NumberNut.Com. You get the following at Number.Nut:
BASIC MATH: Shapes & Colors, Numbers & Counting, Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, and Division.
ADVANCED MATH: Fractions, Decimals, Percentages, Estimation & Rounding, Ratios, and Money.
OK this site will blow you away because it is not just one site but FIVE sites! (Well, they have another site but I’ll get to that later). There are resources on astronomy, chemistry, geography, physics and earth science.
Let’s see what they have:
Fantastic? Yes, because all of them are FREE!! Woo hoo!
