The Free Classroom

Have the students cut out the numbers on 2nd page and glue in the correct box according to the minutes on a clock. See page 2.

Managing personal finances is one of the most important and overlooked lessons to cover for our youths. This is meant to be a quick, no where near extensive, pamphlet to cover the raw basics of personal finance. Following everything on this page will guarantee a decent level of financial comfort. Hand this out in classrooms, as well as to your friends and family. It's important for all of us. This is meant to be a guideline to help you tailor your own financial budget in a way that works for the

This teaches children budgeting in a very simple way. You can keep it really simple or make it more adult by adding a pretend income with pretend expenses. You can also discuss different budget ratios. Encourage your children to save with a piggy bank that breaks up the categories for them (a bank for savings, one for tithing, one for fun). You can also make a chart next to their piggy bank that keeps track of what amount goes where. At the end of the month they'll know how much they have to sav

Learning how to use a ruler. The second page is incomplete. Thumbnail is not showing all the elements. Bend the paper over and let your child use it as a ruler. Give them different measurements (2 3/4 inch, 4 5/16 inch, ...) and let them draw you a line at those lengths using this enlarged ruler. You can also use construction paper to recreate this on a bulletin board.

Debt is a devious thing. Why don't schools teach this? I'm 33 and so many people I talk to my age said they were never taught this. 68% of Americans don't know when or if they will ever be debt-free. Please educate, educate, educate! This resource is by no means comprehensive, it's just a toe dipping in the water.

Goes with Clock with boxes for minutes.

It's not uploading correctly so it will need tweaking. Change font to SF Movie Poster in Microsoft Word, then move dots to correct place and on top of numbers. If addition is a struggle try the counting dot method.

Number bond practice 1 - 9 and a ten frame number recognition Flash card set just to help reinforce number knowledge.

Keep track of hours taught with this excel sheet. Works for Missouri State Homeschooling Law. You may need to have some basic knowledge of excel in order to fix mistakes and change things for your individual children and year.

Many elements of worksheet are not showing in Thumbnails. Students can learn subtraction with borrowing by using their fingers. These pages are designed to work them up to using their fingers. Remember to ask them, “ten and what makes thirteen?” Eventually they memorize that 13 minus 7 is 6, but until they have that memorized this is a method they can use to get the answer. Again certain elements of the worksheet do not show up until after you download them. Little hands help the child transi

This Lesson Plan sheet keeps track of hours and grades and school work completed or planned. This works according to Missouri state law. An excel spreadsheet I have created also goes along with this where you just input the hours and it keep track of every possible breakdown.

Practice subtraction in different ways. Number bonds, and other methods.

Starting out with Homeschooling I struggled with how to teach my child to read. I've finally found a combination of books that seem to be making actual progress for us. I just wanted to share them in case there is anyone who, like me, is struggling in this area. In addition a tip I learned from someone is that it's okay, or better, to drop down in reading levels. It's good to challenge your child but they first have to be equipped to take on that challenge.

Our Monthly Budget.

Have the kids fill in the missing Months. The idea is you fill in most of the missing months at the beginning and then slowly each day leave more and more blank until they are filling in the whole sheet.

Practice in helping children to see how numbers are broken up. You can put these in a page protector and have the kids use dry erase makers to fill in the dots.

Things are always changing for me whenever I find something that works better. This is my revised lesson plan. The lessons I cover throughout the year are according to Commmon Core standards as well as traditional standards and a couple other standards. So I will write the things in my lesson plan that my child is setting out to accomplish and every day once we've done an activity or lesson in that area I highlight it (calling it done). When the child has accomplished that goal I write in the ne

Homemade Time Activity. I used an old clock that was broke. My child was having trouble understanding the minutes on a clock so this seemed to help. The hope is that once we move to a normal clock (without minutes written down) he will know where the minutes are. You can change the times on the flash card to make it easier or to make more. Flash Cards in Mircrsoft word are downloadable just not showing in Thumbnails.

This just breaks down the weeks for me throughout the year. This helps keep me on track for hours during the year. One of the requirements for Missouri Home School Law is 1000 hours of instruction between July 1 and June 30.

Learn the notes on the scales. Thumbnails are missing graphics that will show once downloaded.
