Many a home school teacher fears that a lack of resources in the mathematics and science areas will leave their child "behind" those who attend mainstream schools.
Another fear is that the assessments used in the home classroom will not be of a high enough standard as the home school teacher does not have access to a whole group by which to measure her standards and to which she can compare her child's progress.To allay all fears, browse the Internet and you will find many resources to ensure you keep up with and exceed the assessment criteria as outlined by the Education department in your area or country.
Once your home school is registered and the relatively simple paperwork is completed; set up your classroom and start. Visit my website at http://resourcesforteachersandschools.webs.com/ for ideas on how to set up a classroom on a limited budget.
There are many excellent mathematics and science products available, all are graded and most are adaptable to suit anyone from a beginner to an older more expert student. It is important that a parent shows no fear of the "critical" subjects; this will communicate itself to your child and you may well help to create a mental block against these subjects. It is important to make learning fun. Hands on mathematics activities and games will go a long way to assist in your quest to help your child to love or at least approach math without fear. One such product can be found, called "Making Math More Fun - Math games package" . Simply click on the link in my blog post entitled "Overcoming an aversion to Maths" for more information about this wonderful product.
As far as the sciences and access to science experiment equipment is concerned, once again the home school teacher need not panic. Look no further than the wonderful e-book entitled "300 quick and easy science experiments". This book will save you the hassle of looking through hundreds of science sites to find information regarding experiments. Because this resource was compiled by an expert home school teacher, many of the items needed for the experiments can be easily accessed in your home. The experiments are simple and take 20 minutes or less to set up, conduct and clean up, making the lesson stress-free for the teacher.
