We used Singapore Math for one child at one point. In the younger years, the program can be a perfect fit for a fidgety one. The free resources in their Blackline Masters Library, however, can complement any math program.
The downloads are intended to be used with the activities and exercises that go along with their program. To give you an idea of what is available, the dozens of free downloads include:
- Blank hundred chart.
- Centimeter graph paper.
- Checkbook ledger.
- Checkerboard.
- Clock time match.
- Decimal and fraction number lines.
- Geoboards.
- Grid paper.
- Piano keyboard template.
- Timeline.
- Watch face.
- Word time cards.
- Dozens more!
If you are looking to save a bit of time, here you go. Great resource for the DIY homeschool mom! And free.
