Disclaimer: I received a FREE copy of this product through the HOMESCHOOL REVIEW CREW in exchange for my honest review. I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way.
I love being able to receive and review wonderful resources that I believe will be helpful to homeschool families. I was thrilled to be able to check out Math Shed and Spelling Shed from EdShed. Math and Spelling are both core subjects that I feel our students need to learn. My children haven't always enjoyed these two subjects, but once we found the right fit for them, they thrived. I feel these products will be a good fit for many homeschooling families as well as schools.
EdShed is a company that is run by teachers for teachers. They are excited about teaching subjects that some students have difficulties with like Math and Spelling. The company has integrity and wants to make a huge impact in the lives of those who use their products. They are affordable and easy to use in the classroom and at home.
This is your teacher hub. From here you can add students and keep track of their progress. As a homeschooling mom who teaches many different classes each day, I find that resources that can help me track my child's progress and assign classes are valuable. It helps me with my record keeping and keeps my children on schedule. No more second-guessing where they left off or if they are doing well in one particular area.
Math Shed and Spelling Shed are geared towards Kindergarten through the 5th grade. I feel some older students who struggle a little more with these subjects could benefit from these as well. I was very happy to see the bright colors and fun fonts they used to keep your child's attention even in the dashboard of the games. Kids love vibrant colors. It is much more inviting if they have something like this to look at. It is a simple yet unique set up. The kids will no problem being able to navigate the games and switch from Math to Spelling whenever they want.
Your student will be able to choose his/her own avatar to play the games with. As they level up they will be rewarded with honeypots that will allow them to upgrade their avatar. So much fun!!!!
Math Shed offers some great games that teach:
- Number Bonds
- Times Tables
- Addition and Subtraction
- Powers of Ten
- Negative Numbers
Spelling Shed is a program that not only has amazing games, but you will be able to download a suitable spelling curriculum for your child's grade level from your Teacher Hub. This curriculum includes worksheets and activities that your child will use throughout the week.
The games are so much fun for this section. They include different stages and different levels for each stage. I played around with the Stage 4 & 5 levels and found they were great for grades 4 or 5. The games are entertaining while teaching your child to spell. I know my kids would have loved these games when they were younger.
In this game above, you will hear a word and will have to spell it correctly to get your points. Your child will love seeing those points add up!
So, are you ready to add more fun to your school day? Do you want to add games for your child so they may be able to learn Math and Spelling easier? If you answered YES, then I encourage you to check out these resources from EdShed. You can also learn more about them on their social media pages listed below:
