Many parents remember doing worksheets in school, and may assume that this is the best way to learn and keep children busy. Students today are used to much more active, hands-on learning for a good part of every day. You can still use worksheets to practice specific skills, but they are not the most effective way to learn.
Parents and teachers can subscribe to a good collection of current worksheets covering a wide range of grades at: www.superteacherworksheets.com for $25 US dollars per year. I used the math practice and reading comprehension pages successfully with Grade 3 and 4 students.
A fun way to introduce and practice Algebra is to do Emoji Math, found at www.solvemoji.com . A variety of challenge levels are available.
A goldmine of resources for parents and teachers of elementary/primary school children is:

If you do use worksheets, I suggest using only one or two a day for any school subject.
