Attention Patriot Families!
If you'd like an added resource to help with understanding an academic concept, check out
Khan Academy at www.khanacademy.org
You'll find an amazing array of brief but comprehensive tutorials, with practice problems that are scored immediately.
For instance, let's say your young'un is having trouble solving one and two-step equations in math. You can go to the Khan Academy website, scroll down to "Algebra: Solving linear equations", then you see "Solving one-step equations". Click on it, watch the tutorial, then work some problems. You can get hints on how to proceed if you get stuck, and once you've mastered those problems, you can proceed to "Solving one-step equations 2", or jump to "Multi-step equations".
You'll need a Google or Facebook login, which you can create at www.khanacademy.org if you don't already have one. There are tons of tutorials, covering many subjects.
New Info: There's an App for Khan Academy for the iPad- just search Khan Academy in the iTunes app store. It's free!
