Online math content help -

www.khanacademy.org Khan Academy offers practice exercises, instructional videos, and a personalized learning dashboard that empowers learners to study at their own pace in and outside of the classroom. Their math mission guides learners from kindergarten to calculus using state-of-the-art, adaptive technology that identifies strengths and learning gaps.

The site www.patrickjmt.com, run by a math instructor named Patrick, is similar to Khanacademy.org in that it hosts hundreds of free math tutorial videos. As opposed to the Khan site, this site is for "Just Math Tutoring". You can find videos on Arithmetic, Algebra, Calculus,and other math subjects that explain the topics and show examples.

www.mathtv.com This website has students/instructors showing examples of how to do specific math problems according to math topic. You would want to choose the course you are taking, and then pick whichever topic you are currently studying. For example, there is a ”factoring" section for students studying factoring in Algebra and a "limits" section for Calculus students.

There is tutor help available that you can access through the Solano County Library. If you have a county library card go to http://solanolibrary.com and then, in the lower right-hand column of the page, click on Live Homework Help. This this help is currently available everyday from 10am-10pm. You will need your library card number in order to use this service.
