Free, self-paced math · Grades 8–12

Master the math that class moves past too quickly.

49 units across 6 courses, written one idea at a time. Every lesson ends with a problem set and a full worked solution — so you always know why an answer is right, not just that it is.

This week's focus

Quadratics & the discriminant

  • 01Standard form: ax² + bx + c = 0
  • 02Discriminant: b² − 4ac decides the roots
  • 03Positive → 2 real · Zero → 1 · Negative → complex

Unit 3 of Algebra II · 11 problems, 3 worked examples

The curriculum

Six courses, in order or out of it

No placement quiz and no lockstep. Jump into whichever course is on your desk this week.

9 units

Algebra I

Foundations

The language the rest of math is written in. Start with equations, finish able to model a real situation with a function.

  • Linear equations & inequalities
  • Systems of equations
  • Functions, slope & graphing
8 units

Geometry

Foundations

Reasoning you can defend. Every theorem is built from postulates you already understand, one justified step at a time.

  • Proof & logical reasoning
  • Congruence & similarity
  • Circles, area & volume
10 units

Algebra II

Intermediate

Where algebra gets interesting: curves instead of lines, and a number system that finally closes under every operation.

  • Quadratics & complex numbers
  • Polynomials & factoring
  • Logarithms & exponentials
9 units

Pre-Calculus

Advanced

The bridge course. Trigonometry, vectors and series, taught so that limits later feel like a natural next sentence.

  • Trig identities & the unit circle
  • Vectors & polar coordinates
  • Sequences & series
7 units

Statistics

Applied

How to make a claim you can defend with data — and how to spot one that can't be. Built around real datasets.

  • Describing & displaying data
  • Probability & distributions
  • Sampling & regression
6 units

Calculus Readiness

Advanced

A short, focused run at the ideas underneath a first calculus course, without the grading curve.

  • Limits & continuity
  • Derivative intuition
  • Rates, optimization & graphs

Practice

Four problems, right now

A sample from across the courses. No sign-in, no timer — work each one on paper first, then check the reasoning against ours.

Every solution shows the reasoning, not only the answer

01

Solve for x: 3x − 7 = 20

02

Factor completely: x² − 5x + 6

03

A right triangle has legs of 6 and 8. Find the hypotenuse.

04

Simplify: (2x³)(4x⁻¹)

The method

Short lessons, honest problems, real review

01

Read one short lesson

Every unit opens with a single idea, one fully worked example, and only the notation you'll actually be asked to use.

02

Work a short problem set

Five to ten problems per lesson, ordered from warm-up to challenge, each with full solutions instead of just an answer key.

03

Review what slipped

Anything you miss moves to a review list, so the topic comes back around before it has a chance to disappear.

Start with the course on your desk

Every unit is open, and nothing is behind a paywall.
