Khan Academy Introduction
A great free online learning tool is Khan Academy. Today we all made accounts, and explored what the site has to offer. From 1+1 all the way to differential equations (university level math) there are videos to watch, and skill building questions to work through. You get points and earn badges for practicing math!
sometimes we’ll have khan activities for homework.
