Links for Kids

  • PDF

Hey kids! The terrific websites listed below will provide help for you in almost all of your subjects. Note particularly the section near the bottom entitled Online tutoring for high school students. Note that Ontario teachers are available to help you five nights a week with homework and to help you understand stuff you don't understand or missed in school because of illness etc.

The sites below also include sites where you can simply have fun. All the sites have been added to and altered since I began putting it together in 2005. All of the links are up-to-date as of February 19, 2012.

I want to acknowledge the tremendous help from Erica Conway, who was a student teacher in 2005-2006 with the TDSB. Erica identified and checked out many sites for me that started this list of links. There are still sites here which Erica identified and which are still alive and well in 2012!

There is a fabulous site for math: http://www.purplemath.com/modules/index.htm that focuses on Algebra and is an outstanding source for students who may be struggling with this subject. I would welcome feedback from anyone who tries the site.

This is an excellent site that provides interactive maps of Canada to help students understand social studies, geography and history of Canada.
