Help with High School Math
Hi guys,
Someone I know needed some extra help with high school math (Grade 10-12). They were looking for any resources with practice questions and detailed answers. The only thing that came to my mind was Wiley, and as far as I know that's only for University level courses.
So does anyone here know about any helpful resources. Some websites, online programs or books?

- Thanks

Kumon could work, though they would need to start at a much lower level in order to gain the correct skills...which is a long process.

Not sure if you want long or short term results.

MathTV got me through some tough times

http://www.mathtv.com/

Also, there is this neat website (WolframAlpha) that shows you detailed steps on how to solve different functions (even does derivative and integrals).
All you do is type in your problem (such as "derivative of x^4 sin x", hit enter, and then click "steps" to understand the method

Patrick Jmt is the best online tutor. His website is justmathtutoring.com, I hated math in high school and was dreading 1f03 until someone directed me to JMT. I managed to get a 12 in the course because of him.
