What are some good math apps that can help me UNDERSTAND what I'm doing? I will likely be taking a statistical class.
Context: Math is my absolute worst subject. It stopped me from going to a 4-year out of high school (fear of failure). I have to take one math class despite my already 2 transferred classes from my other tech, and I'm only doing a 2-year program.

Hey Tammy,
As a fellow "struggled with stats" student. The biggest help for me was going to office hours with my teacher and getting a tutor. The 1:1 walking through step by step and taking notes as we did the process was extremely helpful to me as statistics can be very step by step process driven. Usually there are tutors offered by your school and of course your professor has office hours. That's where I would start and what helped me make it through. before long I had a study group with other students.

Mathematics is a language. There is no easy way to learn mathematics but practice, practice, and practice. No apps can instill knowledge in you.
Furthermore, learning mathematics is a sequential process. Hence, you should build up your mathematics knowledge from the ground up. If you are weak in pre-algebra, go back to pre-algebra and work your way up. With patience and perseverance, you should reach the appropriate level of competency and proficiency to take on statistics.
