where do i learn basic maths? i struggle with maths cause i don't really know the basics maths skills. what should i know before tackling gcse maths questions?
Go through your books from year 7 if it is that bad (if you have them)

Or if it is just problems with GCSE maths, go over school book or a revision book from your exam board. There really isn't many skills needed for GCSE maths.

i don't have them and i probably wouldnt understand them either cause they're not that basic.

You could ask your teachers for resources and ask them to help you at lunchtimes.

Google it! The internet is your friend! Just googling 'year 6 maths' came up with this page. https://uk.ixl.com/math/year-6 No idea if it's any good, but there are countless other websites out there just like it! If you know what topic you need help with then you can google the name of the topic. Good luck!

So what year are you in?

i've finished high school. and i dont have any tutors. im year 13. self studying. i will get a tuition teacher but no point wasting money to learn basic maths. i just want to find a good site or youtube video to explain the basics of maths.

what do you consider to be the basics?

there are videos for everything
the basics that u need to know before u start gcse maths. the basics of everything. i cant start with gcse maths without knowing the basics. the basics of geometry. the basics of everything so the questions seem logical to me if u get what i mean

Well, what helped me most at GCSE was maths watch it is paid but the videos are great and explained everything in a lot of detail.
