Homeschoolers, Parents, Students: Need Help With Math? Check Out These Great Resources:

If you are looking for some great math resources to help your middle school to high school child, or simply wishing to brush up on long-forgotten math skills, here is a list of helps I have found so far:
(All have free resources, some have the option to upgrade to a paid subscription to "unlock" all content).

http://www.homeschoolmath.net/  (has some free math help on it, and some available for purchase; I included it because it has some very helpful/reader-friendly instructional help).
