4 Websites to Learn Basic Mathematics
They are free. They can be for both you and your kids.
When I introduce myself as a student of Mathematics, people often share the pain they had encountered while dealing with mathematics. Math has lots of formulae and theorems, but this is not the reason we find it difficult. It is difficult for many students because, at a certain time, they give up. Students try to drag themselves to some certain point with no interest resulting to frustration. They think mathematics is limited within a classroom and their formulae or theorems have no real-life applications.
Irrespective of your age, if you have struggled to understand basic mathematics, and if you have the zeal to address them, you can still learn the subject. Believe me, it's interesting to see how basic mathematics has applications in our daily life.
It’s seventeen years since I passed my high school and I still love to go through mathematical problems. They refresh my mood. So, I share four websites to teach yourself mathematics. These are not an exhaustive list.
Khan Academy
Khan Academy is a non-profit initiative by Salman Khan, an American-based South-Asian. They have video lectures, and class notes for conceptual understanding in a wide range of topics and syllabus covered for every level of schooling. You can easily access the course structure through app or websites. Along with lectures, their quiz is helpful to measure your performance.

Tips:- Use Khan Academy to learn the concept you are finding difficulty. It can also address your understanding of science and engineering.
Brilliant
Brilliant has both premium and free versions. The free version itself comprises visually illustrated courses, questions classified on the difficulty level of concepts, and challenging. While visually illustrated concepts help you learn mathematics differently than we learned in classrooms, those quizzes can help you measure your understanding.
Tips:- Try a free version for a topic suitable to you.
Tecmath on youtube
Tecmath is a YouTube channel that has videos about challenging problems of high school mathematics which includes geometry, algebra, arithmetic, and so on. The creator also talks about speedy math and various math tricks that help your mathematics study easier.
MindYourDecision by Presh Talwalkar
MindYourDecision is about challenging and viral math problems. It is for students to sharpen their skills and understanding of higher school mathematics. I enjoy watching riddles and brain teasers questions solved by Presh Talwalkar, creator of MindYourDecision. He explains mathematical expressions with simple animations which makes it easier to understand.
Tips for TecMath and MindYourDecision:- Use them to sharpen your skills with challenging questions.
