Hello: It’s me….again.   As you all know we are new to HS’ing and T4L. Do any of you all that are using T4L as a core, use any math worksheets to supplement? We just finished reviewing the 4th grade for my son, and now he is moving on to the 5th grade. I looked around the parent page and found answers but not a worksheet generator or additional worksheets. Is this necessary? Please excuse the newbie question…I think that I am still in the stress out mode trying to make sure that they are “where they are supposed to be.”Â
 Also, have any of you ever had the kids take individually administered assessment tests? We are in Ky. and there are no testing requirements for home-schools…just wanted opinions on their validity. I can not stress enough how much easier T4L makes record-keeping……yeah T4L!!!!! Â

when I began, I printed off every lesson sheet for the boys to do as “extra” work. Neither of my kids yet require the extra work but I will probably go back and print off subtraction work sheets just for them to practice on….
As for the tests, Our state requires testing every third year. We found the cheapest place to buy the test at a place in CA and I can dig that out if you want it. I had my oldest son take the test last spring and even though it was a waste of time and money for me to test my youngest son I did it. (I should have gotten him a higher level test but was nervous to do so at the time)… I will probably go ahead and test them again in the spring to see how they are coming along. It is a good way as a homeschooling parent to know how the kids are doing and put our minds at ease. I was relieved when it was over and we got the results.
Take a deep breath, ask a million questions and know we are here for you!
T4L does make my life easier as well with the record keeping! I love it!

There is a math worksheet generator (printable or online) in the playground called Math Facts. (Now that I think about it, it might be better named: Math Fact Worksheets. Stay tuned.
