You can make an unlimited number of printable math worksheets for children, the classroom or homework practice. The answer key is included with each math worksheet as it is created. The worksheets are randomly generated so when you request one it will be different every time. Each math topic has several different types of math problems so you may choose which area to focus on in that subject. I have built a special section just for Multiplication Math Topics. These topics include Times Tables, Single and Multiple Digit Multiplication, Missing Factor, Decimal and Negative Number Multiplication Worksheets. I will be glad to add any topic that you may need.

He actually finished his science a few months early and was ready for more. Here are some of the things we like/don't like. * We like not having a textbook. The lessons are online. For some reason everything is more fun if it's on the computer. * Each day after they read the lesson, they do an experiment. Even though a lot of the experiments are fun and interesting, my kids get burned out on doing them every day. Some of them seem a little redundant. We decided to do only the experiments that really interested us. * My kids came from a public school that taught little or no science, so my 9 year old was in a little over her head with the science on her grade level. She had never seen most of the terminology or concepts. We had to do a little catching up first. My 11 year old has read so many books about different science topics that he had a better understanding of the basics. * As with all k12 subjects there are tests every day. (Yuck!) * The lessons have kept our interest. Overall we like these science courses a lot! I hope this helps! Dana, my kids have really enjoyed k12 science, especially my 11 year old.

We've not used K-12, though I have a friend who has liked it. For history, we do a lot like you, read and enjoy the time. Have you tried making a lapbook? It has been a fun way for my 9yo to record the facts and things she learns as we go. We just finished up the Civil War a few weeks ago and are on WWI now. You can see our Civil War Booklist here: http://ourbusyhomeschool.blogspot.com/2010/06/our-civil-war-plans.html And here is the lapbook my 9yo did for the Civil War: http://ourbusyhomeschool.blogspot.com/2010/07/civil-war-lapbook-finished.html Sounds like a full year!
