This blog does and doesn't exist

Updated: Jan 8



On this page, I share a curated collection of free and high-quality resources to support students and families studying physics, mathematics, related sciences, and some writing!


There is an overwhelming amount of material available online — much of it free — but not all of it is equally useful. Time and attention are valuable, so the goal here is to highlight resources that are clear, trustworthy, and genuinely helpful.


This list is organized by subject area and will be updated periodically as I find new tools worth recommending.



General Helpful Links:

  • Desmos Virtual Grid Paper (Excellent for graphing, visualization, and exploration)

  • Desmos Scientific Calculator (A powerful, free calculator suitable for middle school through college; used on the new digital SAT)

  • OpenStax (Free, peer-reviewed textbooks)

  • CK-12 Resources (Free, standards-aligned textbooks and interactive lessons across all topics)


Really Cool Stuff:
