Sound familiar?

Homeschooling shouldn’t feel like project management.

A math program from one company. Phonics from another. A science kit, a history guide, three teacher’s manuals, four logins and a planner you’ve already rewritten twice. It adds up to hours of planning before anyone learns a thing.

Lesson 6 of 180 · Grade 3 Math

The King’s Royal Rounding

One video teaches one clear idea King Thorne keeps rounding whichever way flatters him. In 10 animated minutes, your child learns to find the nearest ten on a number line, and keeps the king honest.

Tomorrow, the next lesson is waiting. 180 lessons later, the year is done.

Screen time, on purpose

The video teaches it. Paper and hands make it stick.

We know homeschool families watch screen time closely. So do we. Each lesson’s video teaches one idea, and then the screen goes off: a workbook page, a hands-on activity with you, or an experiment at the kitchen table.

  • One video, then offNo autoplay into the next lesson and no endless feed. One lesson, one video, and it ends.
  • One lesson in three, no videoHands-On days come with something real to do together, and review days are a short game.
  • Pencil, paper, real thingsWorkbook pages to write, draw and explain, and experiments with what you already have at home.

The lessons

Funny on purpose. Clear on every point.

Every lesson opens with a story: a pancake that needs 100 helpers, a king with a ratio problem, a paper towel that has to stay dry underwater. Then it teaches one idea, step by step. Kids laugh, and then they get it.

These are the real, full lessons. Press play on any of them. Swipe to see all 6.

Meet the cast

The teachers your kids will quote at dinner.

A recurring cast from the ArgoPrep Universe hosts every lesson, so each day feels like the next episode of a show your child loves. Elementary lessons are bright and playful; Grades 6–8 get a grown-up look and deeper questions.

Who’s behind it

Made by ArgoPrep, a name families already trust.

ArgoPrep has spent years creating award-winning workbooks and learning resources, used by more than 2 million learners, parents and teachers. ArgoLearn brings that experience into one complete curriculum, built lesson by lesson for homeschool families.

  • 2M+learners use ArgoPrep resources
  • 15+education awards
  • 1,500+animated lessons and counting
  1. Standards firstEvery lesson maps to NGSS, the C3 Framework or state learning standards, and tells you which one in plain English.
  2. Real photographs of the real worldLessons show real, captioned photographs of real places, people and things, from sources like the Library of Congress and the USDA.
  3. Why 180 lessons?New York, one of the most demanding states, expects the equivalent of 180 days of instruction, and 27 states plus D.C. require exactly 180. We built every year to that gold standard, so nothing is under-taught.
  4. Built on years of teacher-made contentArgoLearn grows out of years of ArgoPrep workbooks and lessons created with classroom teachers, rebuilt around the research on how children learn.

The research behind every lesson

Designed by research, not guesswork.

Every part of an ArgoLearn lesson is there for a reason. Here are a few of the studies we built on, and what each one changed.

  • 61% vs 40%

    of a passage remembered a week later by students who practiced recalling it, compared with students who reread it four times.

    Every lesson ends with quizzes that make kids recall it.

    Roediger & Karpicke, Psychological Science, 2006

  • 317

    experiments in one major review show that practice spread out over days is remembered longer than practice crammed together.

    60 Hands-On and Review & Play days bring ideas back.

    Cepeda et al., Psychological Bulletin, 2006

  • 13

    experiments found students understand far more when they learn from words and pictures together than from words alone.

    Every idea is narrated and shown: animation, diagrams and real photos.

    Mayer, Multimedia Learning, 2021

  • 16 of 17

    experiments found learners do better when an on-screen guide gestures and points like a real teacher.

    Our cast points to exactly what they’re explaining.

    Mayer, Multimedia Learning, 2021

Built for every learner

  • Their speed, their soundSlow a video to 0.8× or speed it up to 1.25×, pause any time, and set the volume or mute.
  • Listen buttons for young readersFrom Kindergarten to Grade 5, every quiz question and answer can be read aloud, so reading level never blocks math, science or history.Read-aloud support improved reading comprehension for students with reading difficulties (Wood et al., 2018).
  • “Your turn!” pausesVideos stop so your child answers out loud and explains why, instead of only watching.Prompting learners to explain and practice beat passive study in 37 of 44 experiments (Mayer, 2021).
  • Short quizzes, not long testsQuizzes come in short rounds that keep kids focused and confident instead of tired.Lessons broken into learner-paced parts helped in 7 of 7 experiments (Mayer, 2021).
  • A second try, then the whyA wrong answer gets one gentle retry, then a clear explanation of the right one.Feedback helps most when it carries real information, across 435 studies (Wisniewski et al., 2020).
  • Workbook pages that go furtherEach page asks kids to write, draw and explain, thinking about the idea again in a new way.Producing an answer yourself beats reading it, across 86 studies (Bertsch et al., 2007).

Questions

Good questions, clear answers.

Everything families ask before their first lesson.

Is it really free to start?

Yes. Creating your family account is 100% free, and we never ask for a credit card to sign up. The first 5 lessons of every subject are completely free, in every grade: the videos, quizzes, games, hands-on activities and rewards. When your family is ready for more, choose a membership from your dashboard. If not, simply stop: there’s nothing to cancel.

Is ArgoLearn a complete homeschool curriculum?

Yes. Every grade from Kindergarten to Grade 8 has Math, Reading & Writing, Science and Social Studies, with 180 lessons in each subject: one lesson a day for a full school year. Use all four subjects, or only the ones you need.

Can ArgoLearn replace our curriculum?

Yes. ArgoLearn is a complete curriculum for Math, Reading & Writing, Science and Social Studies, from Kindergarten to Grade 8. Each subject is a full school year of 180 lessons, already in order, with the teaching, the practice, the quizzes, the grading and the records. You don’t need separate programs, teacher’s manuals, worksheets or a planner for those four subjects.

How much time does it take each day?

One lesson per subject a day: a video that teaches one idea, short quizzes graded for you, and on many days a workbook page or a hands-on activity. Your child goes at their own pace, and you can pause any time.

How much screen time is it?

Less than most online programs. Each lesson has one video that teaches one idea and then ends: no autoplay into the next one, no endless feed. One lesson in every three has no video at all, and the workbook pages, hands-on activities and experiments all happen off the screen.

What happens when my child gets stuck?

Every quiz question gets a second try, then a clear explanation of the right answer, and your child can rewatch the lesson any time. You see every quiz score in your dashboard, so you know exactly which lesson to sit down and do together, and each lesson’s grown-up notes explain its big idea in plain English.

Do I have to teach the lessons myself?

No. The videos teach, the quizzes check understanding and the games give practice. Be as involved as you like: watch together, read the grown-up notes for each lesson, and see results in your dashboard.

Can we start with just one subject?

Yes. Every subject stands on its own, so you can start with the one that needs a change, then bring in the others when you’re ready.

Is ArgoLearn secular or faith-based?

ArgoLearn is secular: it teaches Math, Reading & Writing, Science and Social Studies, and it doesn’t teach any religion. It’s made to welcome every family, and families of faith use it alongside the faith teaching they do at home. Lessons stay on the subject, celebrate kindness and fairness, and leave out today’s political debates. Science follows national science standards, and you can see every lesson of the year from your parent dashboard.

My child is ahead in math but behind in reading. Is that okay?

Yes. You choose each child’s level for each subject separately, and you can change it at any time. Their saved progress stays with them.

Do we need the workbooks?

No. Every lesson is complete online. The workbooks are an optional companion for families who want time on paper: one page for each lesson, in print or as an eBook, with a grown-up guide for every topic.

Is ArgoLearn accredited?

Accreditation is for schools, not curriculum. No homeschool curriculum can be accredited on its own, and no U.S. state requires homeschool families to use an accredited program, so you are free to choose the curriculum that fits your child. The better question is whether a curriculum teaches what your child needs to learn, and whether you can show it. ArgoLearn does both: every lesson is aligned to state standards and names the standards it teaches, and every lesson and quiz score is kept in records you can print for your portfolio or your state’s homeschool requirements. See HSLDA’s answer on accreditation.

Can I teach several children at different grades?

Yes. One family account holds several children, and each child has their own sign-in, grade levels, lessons and progress.

Does my child need an email address?

No. A parent creates the family account and sets up each child. Children sign in with a username, a PIN and a secret picture.

What devices work best?

A laptop, desktop or tablet with a web browser. A bigger screen gives the videos and activities more room. Grown-ups can check progress from a phone.

How do we get started?

Create your free family account (no credit card), confirm your email, then add your child. It takes about three minutes, each child gets their own sign-in, and Lesson 1 is ready right away.

Tomorrow’s lesson is already planned.

Four subjects. 180 lessons each. One happy routine your kids will look forward to.
