Great Teaching Resources Hunt

What's it about?

If your children come home asking for help with their schoolwork, or you want to try and help with their learning, often there's little or no help available for parents, many of whom went to school a long time ago!. So I thought I'd tap MoneySavers' wealth of knowledge to gather a list of online and offline resources to help you educate your kids

So I thought I'd tap MoneySavers' wealth of knowledge to gather a list of online and offline resources to help parents doing this.

What to do

If you help your kids with their education, and find a particular website helpful or know of a help centre in your area, or if you have tips and suggestions for other parents in the same situation then click reply and let other MoneySavers know.

MEP Maths is a great free resource.This is a complete maths curriculum from the University of Plymouth with lesson plans and worksheets and covers Reception to GCSE.Some of it is password protected but if you email them and explain that you're home educating they will send you the password.

Wow Martin, thanks for thinking about us home-edders.This is a great idea. I've been home edding my 10yr old for about three years now. I'm just going out so when I get back later, I'll post some of the resources I use.:T

Here are some I use.
www.sparkisland.com
www.educationcity.co.uk
www.edplace.co.uk
www.teachingtime.co.uk
www.muddlepuddle.co.uk

Also some libraries will let you borrow more books and for a much longer period once they know you are homed educating. So its worth speaking to your local library about this.
