A quality middle school homeschool curriculum needs to cover a wide spectrum of subjects in order to prepare students for the rigors and requirements of high school. Time4Learning provides grade appropriate lessons and activities that meet state and national standards for learning.
The curriculum is varied, and includes lessons, activities, quizzes, animations, audio, and video instruction. It was developed over more than a decade by CompassLearning, and offers language arts, math, science, and social studies.
The following is a sampling of topics covered in the middle school grades using the Time4Learning curriculum:
6th Grade – pi, inverse operations, adding and subtracting fractions, percents, parts of speech, reading styles, genres of literature, paraphrasing, commonly misspelled words, early civilizations, American immigration, plants, energy, force, and motion, electricity, and magnetism
