• Ask HN: Good sources of math exercises for ~10-17 y/o?

  I used Brilliant (https://brilliant.org/) with my kids and it was helpful, if only because they did try to explain some of the theory around the work in different ways. Considering your comment around videos and artwork, it might not be what you are after, but you can check out some of their free courses to get an idea of how they work. The biggest issue for me was that it is concept based rather than curriculum... - Source: Hacker News / about 15 hours ago

• on discouragement

  So, I started studying from the basics with brilliant.org about 4-5 months ago, starting right from the basics. I do it for 40-45 minutes every day, no exceptions, making it a priority just like reading books. From what I've observed so far, I enjoy it.

• combining like bases with exponents when there's a fraction involved

  Can someone write this out in a super-explicit form to show me the rule for how to combine like bases - this is another brilliant.org question:. Source: 6 months ago

• Looking for a website to learn fundamentals

  I'm a chemical lab assistant and have worked in biochemistry/protein research for four years. I do good work, but I want to understand more background. Often, I don't get the theory behind my experiments. So, I want to build my fundamental knowledge and more. I liked brilliant.org. But there is no biochemistry. Do you know a similar website that would help me? I will also welcome more help. :). Source: 7 months ago

• Is Outschool really good for homeschooling?

  Outschool is a web platform where instructors offer classes, individual tutoring, and group activities. The instructors are independent and can choose their subjects and presentation style. Some classes are live and some are prerecorded. Source: 11 months ago

• i’m a homeschooled teenager with no friends

  My art lover started with art classes on Outschool link. It's not a ton social, but it does help with learning to talk to others in a safe space and doing a fun activity. Outschool also has social clubs where kids and teens can meet up and just chat about certain subjects. If you can't join groups in person, this might be an option to get started.

• Fellow trans people living in states that are actively passing anti-trans laws, how are you coping? Are you planning to leave?

  I always make this recommendation when educators post here. Have a look at the Outschool program https://outschool.com it's a remote learning company that I have a niece that teaches through them. I've heard nothing but good about the organization, and it teaches many that cannot attend a regular school. Including many trans children. Source: about 1 year ago

• 8 year old newly diagnosed with dyslexia

  Outschool.com also has some teachers who do orton-gillingham stuff that we tried and we found that useful as well if you think doing it yourself is a bad idea. Source: about 1 year ago
