hey.
does anyone know of some good websites where i can go online, and practice my maths? i failed my maths exam (yeah, totally failed it) but realise that i need maths to get by- we all do so things like fractions, algebra, percentigages, finding area's of triangles... that kind of thing and something simple- i've a very short attention span and never did that well in normal math class- so want something really easy to understand thanks |

Is there free tutoring assistance at your school?

Kahn Academy is a website full of videos on just about every perceivable math concept that my son has found really helpful.

Here's a link to Khan Academy: http://www.khanacademy.org/
I haven't tried it, so I can't say how helpful it might be. It looks like there are a lot of websites that teach math, but again, no experience with those. |

Hi again, not sure where you are. However although this is GCSE level which is high school level, age 16 in uk. This is good for relearning the basics. Honestly I failed my maths at gcse and well I am 20 years old now and have to retake my maths to be able to do a college, A level course which is the next up level from high school you do at college. Also I have just ;earned some things from learning the basic principles of maths which I never got while at school. It is really down to learning and understanding the processes you need to use to work out the maths questions. To be honest I think were most go wrong is never being told or explained the correct processes when younger in school.
This is good because it explains and gives you online test to help you track your progress. However please remember this is only a revision guide, this isn't the actual test or exams specification used. But this great for getting back into maths. http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/maths/ http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebit...maths/algebra/ http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/maths/number/ |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
