K-12 Learning at home during COVID-19

There are many online math education websites and many are game-based.  Most have quite a bit of free content and many require that you sign up for an account, even to get free content.  The ones below are some of the resources I hear the most about from teachers and parents, and there are many more listed on We Are Teachers' website.

• The Khan Academy has lots of excellent free content and I like how they have organized their content by grade level and math topic.  Most topics also include short video lessons that can be watched before attempting each exercise.
  • For learners aged 2-7 they have a specialized app called Khan Academy Kids
• IXL math is another online resource that provides many practice opportunities.  Also, this resource has the option to see how math exercises align to BC's curriculum by grade level
• MathAntics YouTube channel has tonnes of great instruction on math concepts for learners across grades
• The Western Canadian Learning Network is a consortia of school districts from BC, Alberta, and Saskatchewan.  Their YouTube channel has some great content on a variety of curricular topics.   
• Math Storytime is a story based method for introducing primary learners to math concepts, you will need to download the app
• TVO (Ontario's public television network) has excellent online videos on their TVOKids youtube channel specific to math concepts and these are appropriate for multiple grade levels 
  • TVO's mPower focuses on K-6 learners
• Prodigy math focuses mostly on K-8 learners and has lots of free content
• Mathletics has a free trial, but most of the content is fee-based.  This resource goes into quite a bit of detail for each subtopic.
