High School Math Review, Tutorials and Problems

Each of our high school math tutorials and math review has worked examples and math problems for you try (with solutions). So if you need help with your math homework or with one of our printable high school math worksheets then this is a good place to start. This a great study site for high school and college students. Parents, too, can use these free resources and problems to help your child learn math.

 

A note about year levels

Each tutorial is given a year level that it is applicable to. As we're all in different countries the year level corresponds to the number of years at school. So, for example, a tutorial for Year 11 is for students in their 11th year of school.
Math reviews for earlier or later years may still be suitable for you.

Number and Basic Numeracy Tutorials & Review

• Order of Operations
  In a math calculation the order you do the operations (add, subtract, multiply, divide and brackets) is important.
  This tutorial is suitable for students in Year 7 to 9.
• Directed Numbers
  Directed numbers are signed numbers i.e. numbers with a positive or plus sign (+) in front of them or a negative or minus sign (-) in front of them  e.g.  +6, -2, +7 etc.  All these whole numbers (and 0) grouped together are called integers.
  How do you add, subtract, multiply and divide directed numbers? View the tutorial.
  This tutorial is suitable for students in Year 9 or 10.

Geometry Math Review and Tutorials

• Angles & Straight Lines
  An introduction to some basic geometry principles - the sum of angles on a straight line, angles around a point and vertically opposite angles.
  This tutorial is suitable for students in Year 9.
• Angles & Parallel Lines
  New defintions - corresponding angles, alternate angle and co-interior angles.
  This tutorial is suitable for students in Year 9.
• Angles & Triangles
  The angles inside and outside triangles have some special rules. Learn about the sum of the angles inside a triangle, exterior angles and special rules for equilateral and isosceles triangles.
  This tutorial is suitable for students in Year 9.
• Angles & Polygons
  Rules for the interior and exterior angles of polygons. And rules for special polygons like squares and kites.

Trigonometry Review and Problems

• Trigometric Ratios
  We can use Pythagoras' Theorem (see above) to calculate the length of an unknown side in a right-angled triangle when we are given information about the lengths of 2 other sides.
  However, if we are given information about an angle (other than the 90 degrees) and one side and need to calculate the length of another side then we use the trig ratios.
  This first tutorial takes you through naming the sides of a triangle and an introduction to the trig ratios.
  This tutorial is suitable for students in Year 10 or 11.
• Calculating sides using the trigometric ratios.
  We can use trig ratios to calulate the length of a side on a triangle if we know the length of one side and the size of one angle.
  You will need a scientific calculator for this tutorial
  This tutorial is suitable for students in Year 11 or 12.
• Calculating angles using the trigometric ratios.
  OK, so probably saw this coming. If you know the length of the two sides of a right-angle triangle then you can caculate the size of the other angles inside the triangle. Nifty huh? We're really getting to know stuff about right-angle triangles.
  You will need a scientific calculator for this tutorial
  This tutorial is suitable for students in Year 11 or 12.
