YouTube Is a site where people can post videos for others to watch. Many teachers have posted video examples of how to solve various kinds of mathematical problems. If you would like to try to find a video of a particular topic, just type that topic into the search box at the top of the screen and press the search button. You do need to understand that anyone can post videos to YouTube. Make sure that the video examples you watch on YouTube seem to follow the examples in your textbook. Its rare, but I have found incorrectly worked out examples on YouTube.

It is useful though, for brushing up on any basic skills you might need to review and includes information on adding, subtarcting, multiplying and dividing; whole numbers, fractions, decimals, and integers. It also contains information on basic algebraic equation.
Math Words is a mathematical dictionary that often gives examples or diagrams to help explain the meaning of a word or term. Its a great resource to accompany your textbook. If you don't know what a word means I'd check here first.
