FREE Teaching Resource Websites

I collected a list of 10 teaching resource websites that offer excellent lesson plans, courses, games, worksheets and other teaching support resources completely free. Most also offer a membership option where you can peruse the content free of distracting ads. Others, such as #3: Education.com, let you download a limited number of worksheets per month with the free version, (although other downloads such as activities or articles do not count toward the quota). Their paid membership removes all limitations.

So, without further ado, here’s the list, in no particular order:

1. Sheppard Software
