How do I help my kids with homework in the digital age?

0

As they go bakc to school, do you wish you had more time and resources (and patience?!) to help your children with their homework?  Perhaps they’re struggling in a certain subject, need a little extra practice at home, or want additional activities to keep them busy? SAS Curriculum Pathways might be just the answer.

Available at no cost, SAS Curriculum Pathways provides interactive, standards-based tools, resources, and apps in the core disciplines (English language arts, mathematics, sci­ence, social studies, Spanish) for grades K-12 and beyond. SAS focuses on topics where doing, seeing, and listening provide information and encourage insights in ways conventional methods cannot.

Filters make searching for resources easy!

You can get started by quickly creating your free account and then using the search tools to find resources. In addition to search, At a Glance Documents show everything SAS Curriculum Pathways offers, sorted by discipline, topic, and grade level: elementary (ES), middle (MS), or high school (HS).

Here are some specific examples of how SAS Curriculum Pathways resources can help you help your kids:

  • Do your children need to hone their writing skills? The tools in the Writing Navigator suite take you through the entire writing process: planning, drafting, revising, and even publishing (if you have to create a Works Cited page)! The included Writing Reviser tool is also available as a free Google Doc add-on.
  • Troubles with math class? Or perhaps you need a little extra practice? View a results list and filter by keyword (geometry, algebra, etc.) to narrow down your results. Once you're logged in, filter by level to find resources for ES, MS, or HS.
  • We also have great resources for reading skills!
    • For early readers, we have SAS Read Aloud.

  • We also offer apps for iPad and Chromebook to continue learning at home or on the go!
