LearningHaven gives teachers free subject hubs, ready lesson plans, printables and a short list of vetted outside resources, organized by subject so you can find what you need for tomorrow’s class.
This page is the starting point. Use it to jump to a subject, to the lesson plan pages, or to the printables and games that fill out a lesson once you have a plan.
What subject hubs does LearningHaven offer?
LearningHaven has four main subject hubs, each with topic pages a teacher can use directly in class.
- Math covers fractions, decimals, percentages, ratios, geometry and word problems, plus a math games section.
- Science covers the seasons, animal adaptation, animal classification and forensic science.
- Social studies covers geography, civics, economics, world history and a dedicated Native American section built with tribal and community sources.
- Language arts covers poetry and other reading and writing topics.
This list covers the four hubs as they stand today. It does not cover subjects LearningHaven has not built out yet, such as a full foreign-language or music curriculum.
Where are the lesson plans?
LearningHaven keeps lesson plans in one section, with a math-specific page and subject pages for science and social studies.
Start at lesson plans for the general structure any plan should follow. From there, math lesson plans has the fullest set of ready ideas, and science lesson plans and social studies lesson plans cover their subjects.
These plans are not aligned to any single state standard. Check them against your own curriculum requirements before using them for documentation.
What else helps once you have a plan?
A lesson plan needs materials, and LearningHaven has printable pages, worksheets and games to fill that need.
- Math worksheets and math games for practice and review.
- Science printables for hands-on and desk activities.
- Learning games, including a printable sudoku page, for logic and free time.
These are supplementary material, not full curricula. They work best alongside a plan from the lesson plan pages above, not as a stand-alone unit.
Where can I find outside resources for planning?
A short list of national museums, agencies and public broadcasters offer free lesson material that holds up over time, unlike most old link directories.
- Smithsonian Learning Lab, millions of museum images, objects and texts organized into free collections by grade and subject.
- NASA STEM, hands-on activities, videos and challenges tied to real missions.
- Library of Congress for Teachers, classroom material built around primary sources from the Library’s collections.
- DocsTeach from the National Archives, primary source documents with ready-made activities for history classes.
- PBS LearningMedia, free video, interactive and lesson content from public television, searchable by grade and subject.
These sites cover general subject material, not LearningHaven-specific lesson plans. Preview any activity before assigning it, since content on outside sites can change without notice.
