Building on the Basics

When we learn the basics of any subject or skill, we can build upon those to further our learning and ability. Students in grades 5-8 can work on their math skills with Daily Math. This is a collection of worksheets and drills that teach and reinforce math skills. More than 200 supplemental math worksheets and drills are available. Some of the topics are place value, geometric shape identification, rounding numbers, associative and commutative properties, order of operations, factors, multiples, fractions and percentages, decimals, exponents, and much more.

Economics with Mike Sims teaches middle and high school students the function of economics in various sectors of society. A study of twelve economists throughout history and a three-part study of whether governments should intervene in markets or not is also included. There are reading assignments, videos, research projects, PowerPoint presentations, news stories, review questions, and self-tests. Students who successfully complete of all twelve units (36 weekly lessons) can earn 1 academic credit.
