The site is called Teachervision. It's loaded with free download of forms and certificates that you can print out. (The certificates looked a little over-simplified to me.) It's only downside is that you will be forced to watch a non-agressive, printed display, 30-second commercial before getting to see the download that you are interested in. It's seems a fair trade-off, unless you are in a big hurry.

From the Lesson Plans tab, I opened the Weekly Lesson Plan Form: Pre-K to 12, and it looked like something that might be useful,... a place to start anyway. I'm pasting this link here, of course, so that parents doing all that over-time tutoring with their kids might find something useful to help them organize.

Under GRAPHIC ORGANIZER, you'll find MATH GRAPHIC ORGANIZER, which has a download called TIMELINE. It's just a line on the right side of the paper, some diagonal lines to separate chunks of writing, and some boxes to contain the 'date' in question,... nothing that a parent couldn't have drawn himself or herself. But it might be just what you needed to keep things neat and legible for some project. - jus'

I don't know whether the pdf will open straight from this link or not. You may have to use the link above and then just navigate to this form. http://www.teache..._15-15.pdf

That's a great link. The link contains two problem strategy sheets as well which are extremely helpful. As kids start puberty, they are prone to jumping ahead and not fully reading or understanding the problem they have to answer. This jumping ahead affects most subjects, not just math.

I've found the graphical organizer to work well with science or any subject that pushes a lot of confusing terminology. An example link follows:

While homeschooling, we used note booking/journaling for science, history, and some math. The writing and thinking about the subjects allow you to internalize and make sense of new information. This internalizing of the info brings closure and increases the chance of new info being transferred into long term memory. An example link follows:

I recommend note booking when a concept is understood but not mastered. It would be ridiculous to write about a subject you don't understand. Go back to where you understand and build upon that knowledge.

Not all people like this style of learning, but it can be helpful.

I agree with your theory on note taking. I find that writing something out really solidifies the concept. It may seem monotonous but, I think it really helps especially when trying to learn a difficult concept that needs to be completely understood.

I downloaded the lesson plans and they made my life a little easier. Had to modify them a little bit though/
