Centre for Innovation in Mathematics Teaching provides free access to MEP Help Modules.
Ilan Samson and David Burghes do expositions on misconceptions in
people's understanding of mathematics which ultimately give rise to
errors. The authors have identified 24 of those most commonly found and
of these, the first 8 are listed . The others will follow as they become
available. Each of the documents to which these titles are linked
provides an explanation of how the misconception
arises so easily, together with some exercises aimed at reinforcing the
correction needed. It is hoped that a study of the reason, together
with practice of the exercises, will help to eliminate these errors.

Academic Resources Core-Content Links
Internet links for tutorials and other sources in various subjects dedicated to improving scholarship.
WebMath
Webmath is a math-help web site that generates answers to specific math
questions and problems, as entered by a user, at any particular moment.
The math answers are generated and displayed real-time, at the moment a
web user types in their math problem and clicks "solve."
In addition to the answers, Webmath also shows the student how to arrive at
the answer.
Wolfram MathWorld Resource
Wolfram MathWorld is a free resource
from Wolfram Research built with Mathematica Technology created by Eric
Weisstein with contributions from the World's Mathematical community.
It boasts of the web's most extensive mathematics resource.
Practical Foundation of Mathematics
Practical Foundation of Mathematics is a textbook published in 1999 by Cambridge University Press. There are options to buy it online as well as read it online.
Why Must I Learn Math?
Mathematics has been described as the
foundation of science and technology and a pre-requisite for modern
industrial, economic and social development. It plays major role in the
process of economic growth and technological development. The critical
role mathematics plays in both technological and economic development
suggests that any society that is unable to understand and speaks the
grammar of mathematics will be unable to communicate and interact with
the rest of the world. While I was going through the web to search for
resources that could help my users to gain better understanding of the
subject. I came across this site provided by Mark Karadimos.
Find out why the subject is important and made compulsory at both
primary and secondary education, not only that and why it is central to
many professions.
