Introducing Homework Help!

Helpful Mathematics Homework Links for Parents

Homework Help provides free, real-time help to our students taking Grade 7 to 10 Mathematics.  It allows them to get help after school hours, when teachers or parents are unavailable to help.  It can help students with answering homework questions, reviewing material from previous grades, and studying for tests, exams or the EQAO tests.  But remember – it is “homework help” not “homework do” – the tutors are there to support the students and work through questions to help them be more confident learners and better understand the math.

The Tutor Chat Rooms are open 5 nights a week, for 4 hours each night, and can be accessed as much or as little as needed.  Besides the Chat Rooms, there are other tools available on the website as well:

·         Locker

o    This automatically saves all of your sessions with the tutors so you can go back and watch them again.

·         Glossary

o    This has definitions and examples for many different Math terms and concepts.

·         Listen & Learn, Tutorials, and Best Sessions

o    You can watch how-to videos or use interactive tools for specific topics and watch recordings of some of the best ever tutoring sessions.

·         Calculator

o    Don’t have your calculator?  No problem – there is a scientific one available for you to use online. 

Don’t Forget:  Anyone can create a Guest account & have access to all parts of the website, except the ability to ask questions of the tutors. Students can create an anonymous account using their OEN (Ontario Education Number).
