Geomaths by University College at London

The Geomaths math help notebooks allows students to learn high school math functions on their own.

These units combine science and math answering the question, "why do I have to learn this?"

Each of the first-level and second-level modules starts with a geological context in which some maths arises. From there you can go into the "MathHelp Notebook" on that particular topic.

Free Sat help at Khan Academy

We already know that khan Academy has a great free online math program with the use of videos. They also have a section that walks you though The Official SAT Study Guide one math problem at a time.

You will need to purchase The Official SAT Study Guide
to use with this program. I don't know if the version matters, but I believe that last years version is the correct one.
