Free Number Stories of Long Ago PDF Ebook For #Homeschool or Classroom history, math, etc.


       This resource from Homeschool Freebie of the Day is great for homeschool, classroom or just plain interested adults. As Jim Erskine describes it:

      "Back by popular demand! “The history of mathematics is in no small part the history of civilization,” the author points out in his introduction to this classic book that tells the story of man’s early attempts to count, write numerals, and do mathematical computations. But instead of being a “ho hum” dry, boring “history” of numbers, this is a GREAT “Living Book” of stories set in different historical eras (ancient China & Egypt, among others), showing how different mathematical concepts were developed and became a part of civilization. It is wonderful blend of history, economics, and mathematics that will really be enjoyed by upper elementary and high school students who are curious about the origins of the civilization we take for granted today.

     An extra bonus in this book: Each chapter ends with several discussion and math questions based on the concepts presented in the story. Not only that, but the last two chapters of the book are a treasure trove of great mathematical word problems, puzzles and questions, which will intrigue students and parents alike. A great find! Don’t miss it!"

Grasshopper Land Free Ebook for Homeschool, Classroom, Nature and Insect fans

This free ebook is so cool. Especially for those of us who sometimes had hoards of grasshoppers land in our part of the country in the middle of nowhere! So I'll bet my youngest son (and his dad) would enjoy this. I know I will, and that it will bring back a mixed bag of memories (like all those young trees we lost.)
I also included some interesting grasshopper photos for your research pleasure.

     Here's how Jim Erskine describes the book: "Another superb book by Margaret Warner Morley, this time all about grasshoppers and their fascinating lives. Lots of great illustrations in this gentle and extremely entertaining nature book too."

English: Mating Grasshoppers, Uvita, Costa Rica

From the book's Foreword:
This book is not for children. It is for their grandfathers and grandmothers who were once boys and girls in the country, and who may be in danger, after all these years, of forgetting about grasshoppers. If the children persist in reading so old a book they must not grumble at the long words, but quietly hunt them up in the dictionary, or else wait until they themselves are grandfathers and grandmothers, when they will understand it all quite easily.

Free RealA2V Audio Software For Use with Facebook, music, lectures, etc. Today

"Free audio tool software for all you music, audio book and lecture, and other audio fans today! I can also see this coming in handy for homeschool and classroom lectures and speech reports! Or how about reading a book to a favorite child, and sharing that?
     Here's how the developers describe it: "You might want to share your favorite audio records on YouTube or Facebook, but these services do not support uploading audio files. Even sharing audio in Facebook requires uploading your file to third-party server, then providing the link to the audio, or sharing the flash content. RealA2V is a simple tool for converting audio files to video format so that you can easily upload them to YouTube, Facebook or other video hosting or sharing service.
System Requirements:Windows XP/ Vista/ 7/ 8 (x32/x64)
Publisher:Dr. Alaa Sadik
Homepage:http://reala2v.co.cc/
File Size:16.1 MB
Price:The program is available for $25, but it will be free for our visitors as a time-limited offer.

     Using this tool, you can share your audio records (such as interviews, lectures, or radio audio records) and MP3 music and songs on YouTube and Facebook. Without RealA2V, users need to use a video editing software (such as, Windows Movie Maker) or multimedia tool (such as MS PhotoStory 3.0) to combine audio with video file or a series of pictures, which is time consuming and require adjusting and timing skills. RealA2V uses a smart technique to combine audio with one single picture and show it throughout the video clip."
