Know exactly what to teach, and how.

Every school day starts ready: what to teach, the words to say, and what to do when your child gets stuck. Here is one real lesson, Grade 2 Math in Ontario.

  • Get ready
    Know what it's about before you start.
    Estimate Counts · Math · Grade 2 · Ontario

    What it's about

    Estimate how many objects are in a group of up to 200, then count them to see how close your estimate was.

    What you'll need

    • Small objects for making collections of up to about 150: counters, buttons, blocks, coins or dried beans
    • Paper and a pencil, so your child can write each estimate before counting
  • Teaching guide
    Know exactly what to say, step by step.

    For you: 7 steps

    1. Connect
    2. Introduce
    3. Teach
    4. Model it
    5. Practice together
    6. Practice alone
    7. Apply it

    Each step has the words to say and what to do if your child gets stuck.

  • If your child gets stuck
    Have an answer when they get stuck.

    Your child might say

    “My estimate has to be exactly right.”

    You can say

    An estimate is meant to be close, not exact. We count afterward to find the exact number. Your estimate is sensible if it matches the size of the collection.

  • Activities
    Give your child a turn to try it.

    Question 1 of 5

    What is an estimate?

    • A sensible close guess (correct answer)
    • The exact number after counting
    • A group of exactly 10 objects
    • A way to skip looking at the objects
  • Go further
    Stretch them when they're ready.

    Ideas when your child is ready for more

    • Ask the child to make two different estimates for the same collection, such as a low estimate and a high estimate, then explain why the actual count should fall between them.
    • Give the child an estimate and an exact count, such as 80 and 96, and ask: "Was this a close estimate? How could you improve it?"
    • Ask the child to create a collection that would be reasonably estimated as about 100, then have another person estimate and verify it.
  • Curriculum

    The expectation it starts from

    “estimate the number of objects in collections of up to 200 and verify their estimates by counting”

Your children's learning data stays with your family and is never sold.

Your records build as you teach.

Every region has its own homeschool requirements. HeyScholr keeps track of the subjects your region asks for and builds your child's learning portfolio from the lessons you teach.

  • See where you stand

    Where your region requires specific subjects, a status on your Today page shows which ones you've covered this school year.

  • A portfolio in one click

    Download a PDF of the topics covered, the activity logged in each subject and quiz progress, ready to keep or share.

  • Log learning outside the app

    A museum trip or a music lesson takes seconds to log and counts toward your records.

HeyScholr helps you stay organized. It doesn't submit anything for you and isn't legal advice, so you stay in charge of what you send.

Questions parents ask

Which grades and regions?

Grades 1 to 6, in six subjects, in Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Saskatchewan and New York. See curriculum coverage.

Do I need teaching experience?

No. Each lesson comes with a teaching guide written for you: what to say, what to ask, and what to try if your child gets stuck. You can read it and teach straight away, without planning first.

Can I teach more than one child?

Yes. Each child has their own grade, plan and progress. Standard covers 1 to 4 children, with 30% off each additional child, and Microschool is one flat rate for 5 to 8. See pricing.

What about children with learning needs?

At setup you can choose needs such as ADHD, autism, dyslexia, giftedness or English language learner, and lessons are tailored to them. HeyScholr is not a diagnosis or a therapy.

Who can see my child's information?

We don't sell your family's information or show third-party ads. Children don't have accounts: Kids' mode runs inside your signed-in session. Our privacy policy lists what we collect and which services process it. Read the privacy policy.

Does HeyScholr submit homeschool reports?

No. HeyScholr can create a report and a portfolio PDF from the activities you log, but it doesn't submit anything to a school board, district or government office. You send any required notices or reports yourself. It doesn't give legal advice and doesn't guarantee compliance.

When am I charged?

Your first charge is on day 14, unless you cancel before then. You add a card when you start the trial, after setting up your first child, not when you create your account. See the full timeline on the pricing page.

Can I get a refund?

Yes, for 48 hours after a charge. Email billing@heyscholr.com and we refund that payment in full. After that, you can cancel any time and keep access until the end of the period you've paid for.

Can I print or work offline?

Not today. Lessons are read on screen and need an internet connection, and there are no printable worksheets yet. You can download a portfolio PDF of your child's work for your records.
