You can request an instructor account and create a course to cover the math you want. This is mostly or high school level mathematics (through early college-level mathematics) but some of the open source textbooks and videos are quite good.
I like the Algebra series created by the Scottsdale Community College faculty.
Thank you, this is immensely helpful.

I could offer you some suggestions of things to look at, but I'd need to know more. After all, one of the points of homeschooling is that you can tailor your choices to both your individual beliefs about education, and to your child's learning style.
Do you want online curriculum/classes? Or textbook based? Or a mixture?
What kind of student is your kid, both as far as how capable is he academically, and as far as the kind of things he likes and excels at?
Do you want a secular or religious curriculum? If the latter, what religion/denomination?
Specifically what level do you want for the languages and math?
Does your child already do a sport or play an instrument?
Thank you for this reply. Non religious curriculum, but not one which ignores world religions. Both text book and online, in terms of a combination would work. Kid does not play a team sport (fences) but is an advanced musician who composes and we have music instrctors.

OP two good places to start are Susan Wise Bauer's The Well-Trained Mind and Cathy Duffy's 102 Top Picks for Homeschool Curriculum. I have a sixth and fifth grader and, as others have said, I tailored the curriculum to them in a very individualized manner.

Do you mean where do you buy them, or how can you figure out which ones you should buy? (There are lots of options and one of the best things about homeschooling is that you get to choose the best resources for your particular child and how they learn best, what your objectives are, etc.)

There are lots of choices.
Welltrainedmind is a forum you can use to find out about options.

Where you you get them from?
For example, if you have a 7th grader studying Math, Language studies, French, Italian, Science, Music, Fine art and World studies? Thank you.
