Your child asks you for help on question No. 5. You stroll to the kitchen table, confident that you can answer the riddling problem in no time – only to quickly realize you’re no closer to unraveling it than your kid.
Stumped? Not if you know where to surf! The web offers a marvelous array of creditable homework help websites.
Most sites are actually portals or hubs that direct students and parents to specific learning tools and other useful sites.
Listed below are some free sites that can help answer even the most puzzling question in any subject.
BJ Pinchbeck’s Homework Helper
Its homepage declares, “If you can’t find it here, you just can’t find it.” And we believe it!
Created by a college student, this portal provides links to sites that tackle any subject, including science, math, foreign language, social studies, English and even computer science.
And each subject has subtopics. For example, in science, more-specific sections include general science, biology, chemistry and so on. The site covers help for all ages.
Homework Center
A section called “Tools for School” provides links for virtually every subject.
In math, find a link for flash cards; in geography, calculate distances in the U.S. and find latitude and longitude. And in science, use the handy conversion calculator to figure out length, area, mass, volume, and even cooking measurements.
The site aims to let kids learn the answer, instead of just finding it.
Discovery Education Classroom Resources
Why simply “read” your help? Kids are more visually wired than ever – and this site offers a trove of digital videos that take advantage of how many of them learn best.
Click on the “Home Resources” tab at the top of the homepage, and you’re whisked to a well-organized, easy-to-browse collection of educational clips on math, science, English, social studies, world languages and more. It’s a destination covering K-12.
