Would you happen to know of any websites, video series, books, etc that would be in the same vein as these 2 sources but geared towards very young students (elementary/middle school math)? ...so that they can understand it conceptually from a young start.

EDIT: I'm working through Khan Academy with one of my kids...would like to find other resources as well.




Hmm, how about a technique rather than a resource...

Look for opportunities to expand what they're doing in school. For example, after my kids had covered place values in school, I taught them binary. Their knowledge of base 10 is so much more robust when they learn base 2 as well.

Point is, I bet you already know plenty to be that ideal resource you seek for them. Good for you for wanting to start early.


Thanks for that affirmation. I actually taught them binary counting too over a weekend a few months back...I was amazed how quickly they were able to pick up on it (3rd and 5th graders). With limited time/energy, I was hoping to find some great resources to add to what I can provide them individually.


Keep up with teaching your kids. I took calculus in 8th grade and having it as a base understanding has been invaluable in surviving college engineering.
