www.khanacademy.org - Mathematics Mastery available for free
« on: November 07, 2012, 04:48:15 PM »
I have been addicted to http://www.khanacademy.org/ for the last several months now.

Originally I wanted to help out my nephew with some math tutoring resources, but I found myself revising my own meager math skills, now I am determined to master calculus (and hopefully inspire my nephew to do the same). 

Doing a forum search I can see other MMM'ers have been praising the glory of free education resources online including the Khan Academy in the other MMM forum sub-Categories.

In case it is missed in other threads. I thought I would throw in a topic post in Reader Recommendations, so parents and life long learners don't miss a great oppurtunity to pick up free world class math tutoring (and a variety of growing subjects) online. 

PS. The metrics resources available (for students and coaches/teachers) are impresive enough alone to check out, so as to see how well and simpley they have been implemented to help track students' progress.

Khan Academy is great. So is MIT's OpenCourseWare. I highly recommend trying both if you're into audidacticism.

Khan has incredible statistics and economics videos as well. I love KA.

Agree completely! Khan academy has done wonders for my son.  He can do addition and subtraction really well and enjoys earning the points and badges!

I certainly found the Econ talks like the Greek exit from the euro informative.

 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
