Are you (and your children) struggling with Common Core math? If so, you are not alone. A recent Washington Post article (washingtonpost.com) states that "less than half of middle-school and high-school teachers believe that the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics are aligned “a great deal” or “completely” with college instructors’ expectations for college readiness.'
In addition, a parent's blog (http://www.fiscalrangers.com) highlights some of these problems. These growing concerns will likely lead to explosive growth in both homeschooling as well as parents looking for affordable materials to keep up with standards/testing. Be aware, however, that many familiar resources, such as Khan Academy, have aligned with Common Core.
We can still find free lessons taught traditionally, however, from resources such as Ducksters (http://ducksters.com/kidsmath ) and All in One Homeschool (http://allinonehomeschool.com ). High tech students enjoy virtual manipulative free resources such as http://mathforlove.com/lessons as well as online math games and worksheets. Try https://www.mathplayground.com/ and National Library of Virtual Manipulatives (Grades K through 12) at http://www.mymathfolder.com, Hand2Mind (http://hand2mindathome.com) also offer free printable resources, while http://www.Shillerlearning.com provides digital Montessori based manipulatives.
