Comment Teaching yourself math (Score 1) 4

There are a few computer programs out there, usually offered at two-year colleges or adult ed centers, that can take you from 1st grade math through calculus, at your own pace. Some are web-based, some are server-based, but they all offer assessments (adaptive and otherwise) as well as specific lessons. Plato, Aztec, A+LS are just a few of them. Each lesson usually has a tutorial/study guide, then a practice test and a mastery test. I use one of these programs working with h.s. students who are remediating in math. Having graduated way too many years ago, I needed to brush up on my math, too. Around here, you can access these programs for free at local community tech centers or adult education centers. I think you can also access them for free at college learning/resource centers. These places usually have a teacher or someone else in attendance to help if you get stuck.
