Finding the right math program is a challenge for many home-schoolers. It seems to me that once you find a great program & spend a bunch of money on all the extras, your child might still be in tears. Through using online resources, it is possible to design your own math program using freebies so that you can spring your money on something else!

Donna Young has been a favorite of mine for years. You can print graph paper, hundreds charts and a million other things. I’m not kidding. Book mark this one! I’m sure I’ll refer to it a few more times, and I’m guessing you will, too. It’s not just for school.
