Whats a good curiculum to use for a 9 yr old boy for home schooling?

Answer 1

fourth grade would be a good start, don't home school your child, let him have a social life, or he'll be the next unibomber.

Free Will

Answer 2

Hmm... long division and multiplication. He should have his times tables memorized. Also get cracking on the decimals and fractions. Start teaching him about ecosystems and cardiovascular health. Find a sport he likes. Teach him it's history and strategy. Have him read books like The Witches by Roald Dahl, Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbitt, Charlotte's Web by E.B. White and Shiloh by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor. He ought to start learning about the basics of ancient civilizations such as the Mesopotamians, the Egyptians, and the Chaldeans. Try to teach him how to play an instrument as well. Hope this helps.

Answer 3

unibomber went to public school...idiots. You see what public schooling gets you?

First ask yourself...what type of learner is my son? Is he hands on, or does he like to read first? Does he need lots of breaks, or does he want to get all his work done at once?

Then, go online and look at the different curricula...saxon math is good if you want to do the same thing over and over to practice, but other math curriculum might be better. there are tons of different programs for each topic, and most people don't buy just a general curriculum

Definitely get involved in your local homeschooling groups. There are probably several, and they could let you look through their personal collections, and as well it's a good start at social outlets for your son. Most have coop classes, or at least intermural sports teams and pe. Also group outings which are very nice.

I wish you the best....

Try not using one but taking him to the library every week, watching documentaries with him and letting him explore his interests.

I learned more in the five weeks after I left school than I did in the five years I was there. Children have no natural resistance towards learning long division, however, anyone would resent being forced to memorize something boring and irrelevant.

If you want to integrate, say, math in to his life, show him how it's relevant. Take him to the store with you and then teach him division by saying, "Is this box or this box a better deal," when you're buying cereal. Let him play games with pocket change.

Humans made many impressive advances before some arbitrary authority told them what to do. He will learn more than you realize, but you have to trust him to do it.
