Subjects in School

Posted by: Steve Ruprecht on July 25, 2007 at 10:45AM EST

I am researching hundres of sites looking for the best "homework helper" sites to include on the Kidfluence website. I have been approached by a lot of tweenagers asking me to include some resources for help with homework.

I have complied a strong list , however, I have been asked to break it down into two categories. 6-8th grade and 9-12th grade. What I am unsure about is the exact subjects that are discussed in those range of grades. For example, social studies (US history, flags, presidents, etc..) - when is this discussed? is it part of the HS cirriculum or middle school? How is math spread out. Fractions, algebra, etc...

Let's just say, it has been a long time since my HS days and my kids aren't in those grades yet. Can anyone assist me and basically take the two grade ranges and tell me what subjects, areas are taught inthos grades. Particular attention to Math, Social Studies, Science, Health, etc...

Thanks for the help!

Steve

This gets complicated! Subjects don't seem as straightforward as the used to be. Up until 8th grade it was still basic for me- Social Studies, Language Arts, Math, and Science. But starting in 8th grade it was more specific- Earth Sciences, Algebra, Georgia History, etc. Then in high school there are so many specific classes- Biology, Physics, US History, World History, British Literature, American Literature, Geometry, Calculus.

I would say maybe do the 4 basic categories- Math, Science, Social Studies/History, and Language Arts. Then have specific subjects in subcategories.

Hope this helps!
