A homeschooling mother wrote and asked for suggestions for free curricula today, so I've compiled a list of all the free programs I've featured in this column along with some new ones.
For complete curricula, see these:
This extensive PDF freebie offers the content from the "What Your ___th Grader Needs to Know" books. In other words, the material tells what subjects to cover for each grade with lots of suggested resources and ideas, but is not a scripted ready-made curriculum.
Again, this is lists of what kids "should" know with suggested resources.
Free Ed provides everything from German courses to microbiology.
From Marc and Angel Hack Life, this list is wonderful.
This is a free, comprehensive curriculum in every subject for grades K-5.
In Minnesota, you can view state standards by subject area here.
