Free Online Math Help Available 24/7
Success in math is an essential part of planning for your child’s future. How can you enable your child to understand their homework and achieve their potential? Few parents can afford hourly tutoring, some are unable to personally coach students in individual concepts and searching online for math help can render hundreds of results and become overwhelming. The Ontario Ministry of Education has created an exciting online initiative that will help your Grade 7 to 10 child learn math skills through interactive tutorials and real time tutoring with Ontario teachers.
Homework Help at ontario.ca/homeworkhelp is unique website funded by the Ministry of Education that will help your child excel in math. Homework Help provides free 24/7 resources and live one-on-one tutoring every Sunday to Thursday from 5:30pm– 9:30 pm ET to support Ontario math students in Grades 7 to 10.
Homework Help offers chat rooms where math teachers work one-on-one with students to help with specific math questions. Each chat room has a shared whiteboard where both the tutor and the students can draw and write as they work together to develop a solution. Sessions are open to all registered users to watch and learn, including parents/guardians who can create guest accounts. All sessions are recorded, creating a safe online learning environment.
This website is the best thing ever! I missed a few days of school this week and my teacher does not offer extra help a lot, so I fell behind and was having a lot of trouble understanding just based on notes. I thought this website wouldn’t be very helpful but it was now that I’ve used it. Once when I get stuck at home I can always turn to this. I think that teachers should really push this website on their students because it is a great help especially for high school students! 560kem
How Homework Help supports math learners A proven method to support students and their classroom teachers, Homework Help addresses many of the challenges of math homework and concerns associated with online learning.
Homework Help is a safe, anonymous environment
We all need assistance to learn – but asking for help isn’t always easy. At ontario.ca/homeworkhelp students register and create a username which protects their identity. All discussions with tutors are visible and math related. Neither student users nor tutors have access to personal information about students using Homework Help. This anonymity provides a safe environment where students can feel comfortable asking questions.
I love this website because usually I feel a bit embarrassed asking my teacher questions so many times, because I feel a bit dumb so this website helps me soo much. The people don’t know who I am and they can’t see me. It’s way better :) thank you so much Girlygirl16
On the website, students can work independently through interactive tutorials to build their skills and confidence. In the ‘Ask A Tutor’ Chat Rooms, students can ask questions and get help solving math equations. Students ‘chat’ directly with teachers, not with each other, which helps keep the focus on math. With the experience of certified teachers, Homework Help provides exceptional support in a safe and accessible environment.
Resources that target key areas in the curriculum
Homework Help is developed with the Ontario curriculum, guaranteeing students will have access to resources that meet their current and future learning needs, accessible outside the classroom. In addition, Homework Help tutors are familiar with the math text books used by students across the province.
Homework Help eases the transition to Grade 9
The Homework Help program purposefully spans the transition from elementary to secondary school to help facilitate the adjustment to high school. Students who worked with Homework Help in grade 8 can benefit from the continuity of its support as they adjust to courses at the secondary level. Grade 9 tutors identify the skills students obtained in grade 8 and build on this solid foundation, supporting students as they progress through the grade 9 curriculum.
i was failing grade 9 math and since I’ve started using homework help I’m getting 80's !!! thanks so much :) Tinkerbell 9
Homework Help doesn’t provide the answers
Over 250 certified Ontario teachers have been trained to work as math tutors for the Homework Help program. As Ontario teachers, every tutor is passionate about helping students achieve academic success. Math tutors employ a variety of different strategies to engage students and help them develop a better understanding of math. Homework Help tutors recognize that providing the answers might get homework done faster, but will not foster long term learning. Enabling students to understand the solutions to their math questions is what makes Homework Help a great resource.
A ‘Tutor Schedule’ of available tutors is posted on the Homework Help website every evening. If students have found success working with a particular tutor, they can choose to continue working with that tutor, or select another qualified tutor.
Amazing experience! The teachers are so nice and didn’t give me the answer.. but helped me understand each step…whomever I talked to right now, encouraged me to go to the next step.. and i actually understood...so overall, an awesome experience.. now I feel prepared for tomorrow's lesson as well :D Basket101
