At Starfall, children have fun while they learn.

Starfall was founded by Dr. Stephen Schutz, who had difficulty learning to read as a child due to dyslexia. He was motivated to create a learning platform with untimed, multisensory interactive games that allow children to see, hear, and touch as they learn. read more...

Starfall was developed in the classroom by teachers and opened in August 2002 as a free public service to teach children to read. Since then it has expanded to include standards in language arts and mathematics for preschool through fifth grade and above. The program emphasizes exploration, play, and positive reinforcement—encouraging children to become confident and intrinsically motivated. Due to the engaging content that “feels like play,” Starfall serves as an educational alternative to other entertainment choices for children. read more...

Starfall activities are research-based and align with state learning objectives for English language arts and mathematics. Its emphasis on phonemic awareness, systematic sequential phonics, and common sight words in conjunction with audiovisual interactivity is especially effective for teaching emergent readers, children of all ages with special needs or learning difficulties, as well as ELL (ESL) students. It is widely used in schools and homeschools.

Starfall’s low-cost membership program expands the free content to include additional animated songs, mathematics activities, and reading. Membership supports the production of new books, educational games, and movies.

22 Helpful Math Websites for Kids and Teachers with a Free Downloadable List

Written by Marcus Guido

• Teaching Strategies
• Teaching Tools

Finding educational and helpful math websites for kids used to be a challenge for teachers. Now, the problem is finding the best ones.

That’s because — although many websites have online math games,  interactive activities  and resources such as worksheets and tutorials — they vary in quality and usability.

We did our research and found the best resources to teach math concepts, problem solving and critical thinking for pre-K and up.

Along with a condensed list for download at the end of this list, here are 15 helpful and mostly-free math websites for teachers and five you can share with students.

1. Prodigy Math

Try Prodigy Math — the engaging, curriculum-aligned math platform loved by over 100 million students, teachers and admins.

The math game is aligned with curricula for grades 1 to 8. You can customize in-game content to  reinforce and supplement your lesson plans .

But Prodigy will also automatically  differentiate  to address each student’s trouble spots while learning math at their own pace. Plus, it accommodates  diverse learning styles  by presenting questions through  words, images and graphs  as well as numbers.

To inform in-class lessons, you can access reports to examine player progress and issues.

Consider joining  TES  if you haven’t already — it’s the largest online teaching community, at more than 7 million users.

TES provides access to resources such as worksheets and report templates, submitted and rated by educators. As well as those standard materials, the website compiles blog posts that share useful tips. These include lesson ideas and niche topics, such as teaching math to students with different skill levels. You should find the website easy to navigate, too. Resources are divided by grade level and trending searches appear on the homepage.

3. TeacherVision

Load  TeacherVision’s math page  to access resources that, among other uses, connect math with other subjects.

These include art, history and geography. For example, you can download an activity for grades 3 to 5 that applies long division and multiplication to the Great Wall of China. The resources target students from kindergarten to grade 12, including printable rulers and measurement conversion tables. You can pair them with TeacherVision’s lesson plans, but you must be a registered user to access them.

4. TeacherTube

Think of  TeacherTube  as an education-only version of YouTube, covering core school subjects.

You can search for a specific topic or browse by category. Quickly, you’ll find videos to use during the core parts of a lesson or as a learning station. For example, searching for “middle school algebra” will load a results page containing study guides, specific lessons and exam reviews. You can also direct students and parents to TeacherTube, as some videos are targeted to them.

Register with  Math TV   to view videos that explore, step-by-step, how to solve a range of equations.

After introducing a concept, you can supplement your lessons by playing videos that cover relevant example problems. For example, selecting “Rates and Unit Pricing” will display questions that vary in difficulty. Whereas one requires basic division, another involves converting measurements through multiplication. As Math TV started as a textbook, you can register for the videos by purchasing one.

6. National Library of Virtual Manipulatives

Visit the  National Library of Virtual Manipulatives  to access a range of online activities for students, each involving digital objects such as coins and blocks.

Created by Utah State University, the online library’s goal is purely to engage students. Specifically, it’s to help teachers provide students with more activities. The library contains manipulation tasks targeted to students from pre-kindergarten to grade 12. For example, a grade 6 geometry activity involves using geoboards to illustrate area, perimeter and rational number concepts.

7. SuperKids

Use  SuperKids  to create custom worksheets, allowing you to effectively preview, review and supplement your lessons.

The creation process isn’t complicated. The website lists skills, such as telling time and the order of operations. After selecting one, you can set the lowest and highest numbers to appear in the questions, as well as the number of questions on the worksheet. It takes a click to generate an accompanying answer sheet.

8. Math Goodies

Try  Math Goodies  for interactive tasks and lessons.

Students can, for example, read an example-filled walkthrough about how to order decimals. At the end of the walkthrough, they’ll be able to complete exercises to test how well they processed the content. Math Goodies also appeals to diverse learners by featuring free puzzles, articles and  word problems  to complement the lessons. You can use the website to create custom worksheets, too.

9. Math-Aids

Use  Math-Aids  as an alternative to SuperKids, accessing free worksheets to use in class or give as homework.

Focusing on almost 100 topics, there are 1,200 unique worksheets. Although the customization options aren’t as robust as SuperKids’, there are more skills appropriate for higher grade levels. For example, there are worksheets dealing with Pythagorean theorem. You can also generate word games and  problems , helping accommodate diverse learning styles.

10. Khan Academy

Search the math section of  Khan Academy  to access free practice resources and video lessons.  

You can browse the website’s content by grade and subject, quickly finding material to supplement in-class instruction. For example, there are articles you can share or print to review skills before tests. These skills are rooted in algebra, geometry, statistics and other topics. In total, the online academy has more than 20,000 closed-captioned videos and material covering more than 5,000 topics.

Help your students finally love math!

Get free access to adaptive learning, differentiated assessments and more — all in a safe, game-based learning environment.

11. Wolfram MathWorld

Visit  Wolfram MathWorld  for nearly 13,000 resource entries — the product of almost a decade of assembly.

The website’s administrators upload new entries on a daily basis, adding to the library of problems, examples and definitions. Many of these resources are suited to high school students, whereas others form a knowledge base for educators to study and reference when needed. You can also download many of the resources for offline use.

Access almost 900 math and science lesson plans dating back to 1997 through  SMILE  (Science and Mathematics Initiative for Learning Enhancement).

The website clearly looks like it’s from the 1990s, but stopped uploading content in 2006. Regardless, you can access relevant lessons from teachers across the United States. They range from elementary to high school content, and each states the objective and strategy you should take when teaching it. For these reasons, SMILE is still an ideal resource for finding lesson ideas.

13. Online Chart Tool

Target visual learners by creating charts using  this online tool , embedding them in worksheets, presentations and other material.

To streamline the process of creating charts, the website takes you through steps to input data, adjust labels and modify your design. You can upload a CSV file with your data to further speed up the process. Currently, the tool allows you to create common charts — such as line graphs — and uncommon ones, such as radar charts.

14. Daily Starters

Visit Scholastic’s  Daily Starters page  each day to help you create entry tickets for solo or group work.

The content levels range from pre-kindergarten to grade 8. They generally include math and English questions, as well as facts related to other subjects. Many teachers either print the Daily Starters or project them onto a whiteboard. Aside from entry tickets, there different ways to use them in lessons — such as including them in learning stations.

15. Get the Math

Check out  Get the Math  with your students to teach them about applying math in different careers and real-world situations.

Aimed at middle school and high school students, the website features videos with young professionals who explain how they use algebra. They then pose job-related challenges to two teams of students in the video. Encouraging your class to take the challenges will expose them to the same algebraic concepts. It’s a straightforward way to vary your lesson content.  

7 Helpful math websites for kids

In addition to the math resources above, we recommend checking out these other high-quality learning resources to help students gain a better understanding of challenging math topics.

Students can use these to dive deeper into basic math concepts like addition, subtraction, long division and much more.

Direct students to  NRICH , an ongoing project by the University of Cambridge, for  math games , articles and problems.

The site divides resources by UK key stages and US grade levels, sharing content that’s explicitly linked to standard curricula content. For example, grade 3 students can find information related to telling time and complete subsequent equations. Students can also take advantage of the “Ask NRICH” feature — they submit questions, and a mathematician will help solve them.

2. WolframAlpha Math

Share  WolframAlpha Math  with students in higher grades, as the tool acts like a scientific calculator that shows each step to solving a given equation.

When applicable, it will provide answers using graphs, images and written explanations. Keep in mind, there is currently no functionality to input your own equations. So, students cannot use WolframAlpha Math to solve specific questions. But you can take equations from the website to solve in class, using it to review answers.

3. AAA Math

Tell students up to grade 8 about  AAA Math  if they want an online math practice resource.

No form of registration is required, letting students easily access math questions ranging from counting to evaluating exponents of negative numbers.

The math site gives immediate feedback, letting students know if they answered correctly or incorrectly. In the latter case, it will reveal the right answer. As well as math problems, there are word- and graph-based questions.

4. Math Is Fun

12 of the best home learning websites for kids

Using websites to support home learning

The pandemic had a huge impact on learning at home and increased the amount of incredible educational help online.   It can be difficult, however, to sift through the thousands of online learning resources to find the right ones for your child.   ‘It’s worth taking some time to look at what a particular website is offering,’ says Bobby Seagull, maths teacher, half of BBC duo Monkman and Seagull , and spokesperson for Explore Learning.    ‘Is it linked to the school curriculum , or does it offer tangential but interesting learning? Both are good and can complement each other.'   As well as keeping up the momentum with maths and English, it’s important to support your child's learning in different ways, including creative subjects, physical activity and learning through play.   ‘Children need a variety of subjects to help them develop a broader appreciation of the wonderful world of knowledge out there,’ Bobby explains. ‘This is a chance for them to learn new things that they might not have done before.’   Tapping into diverse resources – from worksheets to tutorials to YouTube videos – will also keep your child engaged so they don’t lose interest in learning.

Need a little help? 

It’s important to give our kids lots of different learning experiences, but we also need to help them keep moving with literacy and maths. Lots of families will also be preparing for their child to take the 11+ in the autumn: we've rounded up the latest information about revised 11+ dates in each area.   While some of us may have grown in confidence with home learning, others might still feel out of their comfort zone when supporting their children with maths and English. This is where online tutoring can help.   ‘Using an online tutor can help take the pressure off you by giving your child time with someone who’s knowledgeable in a particular area,’ explains Charlotte Gater, Head of Curriculum at Explore Learning. ‘It will give your child the chance to be stretched in a subject that they excel in, or develop in an area they find more challenging.’   Online tutoring isn’t passive learning, where your child sits at a screen and is expected to work through endless questions and tasks. Rather, it calls on them to be engaged and independent  (as well as offering you the reassurance that they are working through a structured set of resources).   ‘When we’re teaching a new concept, we get children to teach it back to us, so we know they understand,’ says Charlotte.   ‘We focus a lot on how children are learning, not just what they’re learning, and establishing these great learning habits allows them to embrace learning in any scenario.’   Whether your child is preparing for entrance exams or home learning, one-to-one online tutoring is a great way to provide structure and help them focus on key skills, but you can supplement it with online resources to make learning fun and varied.   To help you out, we’ve rounded up our 12 favourite online resources that’ll keep your child’s learning on track.

Best for reading scheme books

Oxford Owl eBook Library

If your child's progress with their school  reading scheme has declined, you can get them back on track thanks to the brilliant ebooks from leading educational publisher Oxford University Press.   The virtual library is stocked with books for primary school children of all reading levels, including books from reading schemes like Biff and Chip and Read Write Inc Phonics. There are also books for independent reading.   Once you’ve registered, you can search by age, reading level, book type and series to find the best titles to help your child make progress with their reading at home.

Best for one-to-one tuition

Explore Learning: Explore at Home

Explore Learning is renowned for helping children aged 4-14 learn through its Explore at Home one-to-one tutoring: brilliant if your child needs a little help to get back on track, or is preparing for the 11+ or other important exam.   When you sign up for Explore at Home, your child’s personal expert tutor will devise a bespoke programme tailored to their age and stage, aligned with the primary curriculum.   Your child will have a weekly one-to-one online session with a qualified centre tutor (the sessions can be delivered from any device, including mobile and tablets); learning will happen through a split screen and feedback will be provided to both you and your child at the end.   Your child’s progress is tracked so their tutor can identify their strengths and weaknesses and support them with the areas they find difficult, plus they'll have unlimited online access to an individualised online learning programme, with downloadable educational resources and worksheets, so they can work on their maths and English skills from home. Explore Learning is offering a free trial of Explore at Home so you can decide if it would be right for you and your child.

Best for demystifying primary school jargon

TheSchoolRun.com

One of the trickiest things about supporting your child’s home learning is making sense of what they’re learning at school. Many of the terms they use are unfamiliar ( fronted adverbials , anyone?), which is where TheSchoolRun comes in.   The comprehensive primary school glossaries – English , grammar, maths , science and computing – explain every bit of terminology you need to know, with examples, step-by-step explanations and teachers’ tips to help you support your child.   We also have hundreds of free Homework Gnome resources to help your child with all those primary school history, geography, science and RE topics, each packed with facts, trivia, images, videos and links to further info: just what you need if your child has been given a homework project and doesn’t know where to start.

Best for book recommendations

Whether your child is happiest with their nose in a book or needs encouragement to read , Toppsta is packed with inspiring ideas to support reading for pleasure.   The website is full of book recommendations for children aged 0 to 14, with reader reviews , book lists for different ages, stages and subjects, featured books, giveaways and inspiring ideas to help your child enjoy reading.

Best for library lovers

Your local library

If you have a library card, you can borrow a vast range of children’s and young adult ebooks and audiobooks from your local library to read or listen to on a tablet or phone using apps like Libby , Borrowbox , PressReader and rbdigital . Visit your library’s website to find out which app it uses.   You can also access a wide range of online reference books to support your child’s homework projects, as well as newspapers and magazines to give them a grounding in reading non-fiction and current affairs .

Best for daily lessons

BBC Bitesize

BBC Bitesize has a huge range of online lessons in English and maths, tailored to your child’s key stage. You can use these to supplement what your child is learning at school, or to keep them learning if they're off school for any reason.   There are also videos, quizzes and podcasts to make learning fun, plus educational programmes on iPlayer and the red button.  

Best for maths games

Children learn best if they’re enjoying themselves, which is why we love Topmarks: a website full of fantastic maths games for children aged three to 14.   The games are grouped by age, and you can also pick a particular category for your child to focus on, like place value , money maths , shapes and problem-solving. Games include Place Value Basketball, Rocket Rounding, and Number Patterns.   Many of the games are tablet-friendly, while others use Flash and so need to be played on a computer or laptop. There are also parents’ resources to give you ideas for improving your child’s maths skills, for example learning through cooking.

Best coding website

Blockly Games

Blockly Games introduces children to the basics of computer coding through interactive games.   Blockly is a programming language that works by stacking blocks together, a bit like a jigsaw. These blocks are used to create chunks of code that can then be converted into professional text code.   Blockly Games helps children get to grips with coding through games, puzzles and activities like making an animated character, writing instructions for a maze, and composing music using simple commands. This helps them understand key principles of coding like sequences, conditionals and loops.

Best for play ideas

Make Time 2 Play

Learning isn’t all about sitting at the table with pencil and paper; there’s a lot that kids can learn through play, too. Why not have a look at Make Time 2 Play? It has over 450 play ideas for primary school children and younger that can be played online or downloaded to a tablet or phone. You can search by age, the number of children participating, the duration of the game and the particular benefits.   There’s a great selection of activities including arts and crafts, physical challenges and imaginative play, many of which you can do in the home and garden.

Best for KS3

Home Learning Timetable

It’s natural to feel daunted if you’re supporting a secondary school child ’s learning at home, especially if they've just started Year 7 and are facing a bigger homework workload than they're used to. Every day, Home Learning Timetable links to three online lessons on websites like YouTube and TED-Ed, covering key curriculum areas like maths and science plus optional subjects like media studies.   You can access previous days’ learning activities, so there’s no obligation to do every lesson every day, and there’s an emphasis on fun, with quizzes, TV programmes and practical challenges alongside more structured lessons.   If you or your child finds a great learning resource online, you can submit it to the website to be considered for inclusion. 

Best search engine

Keeping kids safe online is a priority for every parent, especially as a few wrong clicks could lead them to seriously unsuitable content.   Kiddle is a search engine for children that’s designed to ensure they can search safely. Search results are filtered to make sure they’re age-appropriate, and websites written especially for children are top of the listings.   Most results are illustrated with a thumbnail picture to help your child understand what they’re about, and the site is written in a large, child-friendly font for ease of reading.

Best for broadening horizons

TED is renowned for its short, informative and powerful talks on a huge range of subjects – and TED-Ed is its youth and education initiative, bringing new ideas to children from primary age up.   Short animations that spark ideas are TED-Ed’s bread and butter, with collaborations from teachers, designers, journalists, science writers and historians, covering subjects as diverse as the immune system, the myths behind the Chinese Zodiac, and materials science.   Register with the website to receive engaging learning ideas by email, grouped by age, across curriculum and non-curriculum areas from maths, literature and language to health and psychology.

Best for investigation and curiosity

Looking to encourage a little scientific curiosity in your child? Wonderlab+ is the Science Museum Group’s free learning website that brings science to life through creative and fun experiments and games. It is fun, playful and educational. 

Learn about how things work, conduct experiments, explore space and go on interactive missions to solve mysterious problems.

Top online resources for homework help

by: Miriam Myers | Updated: September 20, 2023

Print article

Does your child’s math homework have you stumped? Does he need help with a science project ? Direct him online to the growing number of homework help websites to help him find answers to his burning questions. Such resources range from reference sites to those staffed by experts.

A site may have teachers or professionals your child can email to ask a question. If she has a question about the planets, she can find an expert astronomer. Help your child check the site to see when she can expect an answer — it may take a few days or weeks.

Reference sites range from atlases to encyclopedias. They are a place your child can go to access information to help answer their questions. If your child is doing research on sea animals, he can use a reference online such as an almanac or an encyclopedia to help complete his homework and develop his research skills.

Check your local library’s website too. Some, like the Boston Public Library , offer reference material as well as online help from real people. To access the online help features, you may need to enter your library card number.

There are websites that are subject and grade level specific. Some sites give free advice, while others charge a fee. Help your child learn that it’s important to evaluate the source of any information she gets online and show her how to find the “About Us” section of a site. Inform your child that these sites are tools to help her answer questions and that she will need to cite and acknowledge others’ work correctly.

The following sites will assist you in finding resources to help your child successfully complete his homework assignments. While these sites are for kids, it is always a good idea to supervise your child while he is online.

Fact Monster: Homework Center This kid-friendly site from Information Please, a Pearson Education company, sorts information by subjects, homework skills, reference sources and tools. Find information on how to write a research paper and how to cite sources. Browse the almanac and find an interactive periodic table or click on the atlas to find country, state and city profiles.

Kid Info This website, created by an elementary school teacher, has compiled a list of homework help, reference resources, and search engines for kids. You can do a search or click through the topics to find information about subjects, such as insects or the history of toys.

Education World: Study Skills and Homework Help This site for teachers lists several homework resources. Check out the Research Toolbox in the study skills section to find references from maps and converters to museums and libraries. Read reviews of homework-help websites and articles about homework help.

HomeworkSpot.com This site is a free homework information portal that provides access to K-12 homework-related sites. It’s organized by topic and grade level for ease of use.

10 Best Homework Help Websites for Students

By Med Kharbach, PhD | Last Update: May 11, 2024

In the age of information, the pursuit of knowledge isn’t limited to the boundaries of a physical classroom. The internet, a vast repository of knowledge, provides an invaluable resource for students in need of assistance with their homework. But with such an expansive digital landscape, finding reliable, high-quality educational resources can often feel like searching for a needle in a haystack.

That’s where our curated list of the best homework help websites comes into play. To help you navigate the limitless sea of educational platforms, we’ve done the legwork and compiled a selection of the very best websites offering homework help. These websites, vetted for their quality and effectiveness, cover a broad range of subjects, ensuring that every student finds the assistance they need.

Homework Help Websites for Students

From math and science to language learning, social studies, and history, these platforms provide comprehensive resources that empower students to tackle their homework with confidence. Read on to explore our top picks and elevate your learning journey

1. AI Chatbots

Since I published this list on homework assistants, several shifts have occurred in the online landscape, one of which is the remarkable advancement of AI chatbots such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, Jasper, Perplexity AI, among others. It struck me that these tools, if harnessed with care and responsibility, could serve as invaluable allies in the homework help arena.

These AI companions can offer instant assistance with a wide range of subjects, from math to literature, making them a flexible resource for students seeking to deepen their understanding or overcome specific challenges. Moreover, their ability to provide tailored support and explanations can make the learning process more engaging and personalized. It’s crucial, though, for students to remain critical thinkers and not rely solely on these tools, using them to supplement their learning journey rather than replace traditional study methods and the invaluable guidance of teachers.

Brainly is a website that offers homework help with subjects such as Math, Social Studies, World Languages, Computer Science, Arts, Geography, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, History, among others. Homework help in Brainly is community-driven and is provided by other students, tutors, Phds, and teachers. There is also the option for students to work 1:1 with tutors live.

The Chegg Study comprises the following features: textbook solutions, expert Q&A, writing help, math solver, premium flashcards, video explanations and more. To learn more, check out  Chegg’s full tutorial for students .

Students can create their own interactive flashcards and study sets or use pre-made ones shared by other students and learners. Quizlet is also available as a mobile app for both iOS and Android devices. To learn more, check out Quizlet guide for teachers and students .

Final thoughts

The landscape of education has been significantly altered by technology, and homework websites are no exception. They offer a range of features—from collaboration tools and assignment trackers to full-fledged courses—that are changing the way students engage with their studies. Whether it’s Khan Academy’s mastery learning approach or Chegg’s expert guidance, each platform brings its unique offerings to the table.

That being said, no homework website can replace the tactile experience of a teacher’s guidance, and not all are made equal. As with anything in the educational tech world, it’s crucial to critically evaluate the sources we rely on. In my experience, while some websites can indeed be lifesavers during crunch time or as complementary study aids, others can be more of a distraction than a help.

Making Homework Easier: Tips and Tools for Parents 

posted on September 20, 2023

By Stephanie Yamkovenko , group manager of Khan Academy’s Digital Marketing Team.

Homework can present challenges for parents and children alike. You naturally want to provide support for your child’s learning journey and ensure they are reaching their full potential. In this blog post, we will delve into practical strategies to assist your child with their homework. From fostering understanding and offering encouragement to breaking down tasks and implementing rewards, we will explore a variety of effective approaches to help your child achieve academic success.

Step 1: Set Up Your Child for Success

Your child’s study environment can have a significant impact on their homework performance. Create a space that is free from distractions like the television, smartphones, or noisy siblings. The study space should be comfortable, well lit, and have all the necessary materials your child might need, such as pens, papers, and textbooks. If your child’s workspace is noisy or uncomfortable, they may have difficulty focusing on their homework, resulting in lower productivity. 

For example, if you live in a small apartment, consider setting up a designated corner with a small desk or table where your child can focus on their work. You can use dividers or screens to create a sense of privacy and minimize distractions.

If the only place to do homework is in the dining room or kitchen, try to establish a routine where the area is cleared and organized before study time. This can help signal to your child that it’s time to concentrate and be productive.

Remember, it’s important to adapt to your specific circumstances and make the best of the available space. The key is to create a dedicated study area that promotes focus and minimizes interruptions regardless of the size or location of your home.

Step 2: make it fun.

It’s important to make homework fun and engaging for your child. Here are some examples of how you can do it:

• Use games : Incorporate educational games like card games, board games, or puzzles that align with the subject your child is learning. For instance, use Scrabble to practice spelling or Sudoku to enhance problem-solving skills.
• Turn it into a challenge : Create a friendly competition between siblings or friends by setting goals or time limits for completing assignments. Offer small rewards or incentives for accomplishing tasks.
• Make it interactive : Use hands-on activities or experiments to reinforce concepts learned in class. For science or math, conduct simple experiments at home or use manipulatives like blocks or counters to visualize abstract concepts.
• Use technology : Explore online educational platforms or apps that offer interactive learning experiences. There are various educational games, virtual simulations, and videos available that can make homework more enjoyable.
• Incorporate creativity : Encourage your child to express their understanding through art, storytelling, or multimedia presentations. For example, they can create a comic strip to summarize a story or make a short video to explain a concept.

Remember, by making homework enjoyable, you can help your child develop a positive attitude towards learning.

Step 3: Use Rewards

Rewards can be a powerful motivational tool for children. Offering positive reinforcement can encourage them to complete their homework on time and to the best of their ability. 

Here are some examples of rewards our team has used with their children:

• Extra screen time: “I use Apple parental controls to add screen time on their iPad.”
• Access to a favorite toy: “My eight year old has a drum kit, which drives us all up the wall. (Thanks, Grandma!) But when they’ve been doing a lot of school work, we put on headphones and let him go nuts.”
• Praise for a job well done: “Specific, measurable praise is what works best.” 
• Trip to the park: “A trip to the park is good for everyone, especially for the kids to run around with the doggos.”
• Movie night: “I know every word and song lyric in Moana ; we now reserve showings for good behavior.” 
• Stickers or stamps: “Gold stars were such a thing growing up in the 80s; turns out they still work.”
• Stay up a little later: “An extra 30 minutes feels like a whole day for my young ones; use this reward with caution as it can become the expectation!”

So, celebrate your child’s efforts and encourage them to continue doing their best.

Step 4: Break Down Difficult Tasks

When facing daunting homework assignments, follow these step-by-step instructions to break down the tasks into smaller, manageable chunks:

• Understand the requirements and scope of the task.
• Break down the assignment into individual tasks or sub-tasks.  
• Splitting the middle term
• Using formula
• Using Quadratic formula
• Using algebraic identities
• Determine the order in which tasks should be completed based on importance or difficulty. 
• Start with the easiest task. Begin with the task that seems the least challenging or time-consuming.
• Progress to more challenging tasks: Once the easier tasks are completed, move on to more difficult ones.
• Take breaks: Schedule short breaks between tasks to avoid burnout and maintain focus.
• Check completed tasks for accuracy and make any necessary revisions.
• Finish the remaining task(s) with the same approach.
• Celebrate small achievements to boost confidence and keep motivation high.

By following these steps, you can make daunting homework assignments more manageable and less overwhelming for your child.

Step 5: Get Targeted Help

If your child is struggling with homework, it might be worth considering seeking personalized assistance. You have the option to search for professional tutors or explore online tutoring platforms, such as Khan Academy’s AI tutor, Khanmigo .

This AI tutor can offer personalized guidance and support tailored to your child’s specific needs, helping them grasp complex concepts and practice essential skills. Incorporating this approach can effectively complement your child’s learning and enhance their homework performance.

Homework can be a challenge for both parents and children. But with the right approach, you can help your child overcome difficulties and support their learning. Encourage and understand your child, create a comfortable environment, break down difficult tasks, use rewards, get professional help when needed, and make it fun. With these tips and techniques, you can help your child achieve success, develop a love for learning, and achieve academic excellence. Remember that each child learns differently, so it’s essential to adjust your approach to meet their unique needs.
