I want to improve my mathematics .

Kanjanjunga · 02-03-2021, 06:12 PM

I am planning to spent at least an hour to improve it .
I can only study after 11 at night because i work hard till evening 6.30 , then come back home and rest .

I have collected some books to improve my basic mathematics .

I am trying to attend a government test in 2 or 3 months time .

That is why i wanted to refresh it .

Thanks

Good luck!

Is there a clear list of what you need to know for this government test?

I have only found one good source for some good Pre algebra lesson and it is this website ,

https://www.math-only-math.com/

The rest of the questions would look like this ,

Another site you might find helpful is corbettmaths. They have videos and practice questions (I'd go for the textbook exercises as they have answers provided so you can check your work) for lots of topics, including most that you have listed.

Is the second picture you posted some kind of booklet with more detail on exactly what is required? If not, are there any practice exams or past papers you can look at to get an idea of the depth required? Ratio and proportions for example is a very big topic and it would be useful to know how difficult the questions are likely to be!

(I'm a maths teacher btw)

@Pi.R^2 ,
Wow a maths teacher , i was not expecting that .

I have collected some books for the study of basic arithmetic and algebra .

My list would look like this ,

Fundamentals of mathematics - Openstax
Intermediate Algebra - Openstax
Quantitative aptitude and reasoning - praveen r.v

I have ordered the last book online , i will get it in few days .
The other openstax books i am going to take a print out of it

Thanks

:)

For what purpose did you decide to take the exam? Do you need this for work? Just interest, don't think anything bad.

I have stopped following it ,

1 reason is i had to attend a class on sunday and they have stopped that class due to the covid .
I don't think i can study for it alone as i do not have enough time for this after i come back from work

Oh that’s a shame. If you’re still keen, hopefully when the time is right you’ll be able to take it up again :)
