Answer
Natasha leans hard into tools that make homeschooling flexible, hands-on, and affirming for Black families. From the posts you’re pulling from, here are standouts she either uses or highlights:
- Teaching Textbooks 4.0 – her go-to math curriculum: app-based, auto-graded, no Wi‑Fi needed after download, with built-in lectures, hints, and scratchpad. Great for kids working at their own pace.
- Supercharged Science / SuperCharged Math – hands-on science and math from a former NASA scientist; heavy on real-world experiments and summer-friendly projects.
- Educational board games – especially gameschooling picks like National Parks games (Keymaster), history games (Underdog Games), Prime Climb for math facts, and The Scrambled States of America for U.S. geography.
- Online learning tools – Scratch and TinkerCAD for coding/3D design, Night Zookeeper for reading and writing, Typesy for typing, plus SAT practice sites for older kids.
- Life-skills resources – CPR/First Aid, babysitting certifications, community college cooking classes, and involving kids in budgeting, shopping, and home/car maintenance as “curriculum.”
