Maths is just putting the real world into numbers. It's not that scary.
How many people answered your question? (that's addition)
If one less person responded how many would it be? (that's subtraction)
If half the number responded how many would there be? (that's division, half = divide by 2, quarter = divide by 4 etc: the number on the bottom is the number you divide by, the number on top is the number you multiply by, therefore 3 quarters of 80 means divide by 4 and multiply by 3 which gives 60)
If twice the number responded how many would it be? (that's multiplication, times two)
I'm sure you can do it. Numbers are fun and not that frightening.
How many squares on a chess board? What's an easier way to check than counting them all?
Good luck!

I hope you are not insulted by this. Go to a bookstore or even a big drugstore chain where they display coloring books They will also have basic math workbooks for different grade levels. They are meant for children but if you need the basics flip through them and pick the one that starts at the level where you think you need the help. These books will be an inexpensive way to start.
Also go to your local library and ask the librarian if they can recommend books or if there is some one who can tutor you cheaply or for free.
Search google for the keyword Math Homework . When you find a good site choose math subjects at the grade level where you think you are at. Then choose addition ,subtraction division whatever you want help with.

You might be able to find inexpensive CD rom based instruction at an office store. Good Luck I think it is great that you are challenging yourself this way.

I will tell you what I did. IN High School, I was struggling in my math classes. My reason, not a stong enough base in commen Arthematic, meaning Mulipplycation, Addition, Subtrction and Division (and basic algebra). What I did, I took quiizez online, looked at homework help web sites, and checked out books for my libaray. Pick one that will work for you, and dont cut coners. It might be hard, since you are your own teacher, but dont give up!

I always found math and physics type stuff hard. But I learned that if I just practised it a lot, after about three months the ability was second nature.
You have to make the effort and have faith that your brain will re-wire. Be patient it works.
I know this goes over the 8 week deadline. Maybe you are quicker than me.

It is my personal opinion that 8 week's time is sufficient nough to learn basic math.Take the help of your parents in understanding the concepts.You must have a clear conception about the things you study .If your parnts cannot help you much,take the help of your teacher as and when necessary.Last of all,do not foreget that only practice can make you perfect in the subject and there is no substitute for hard labour.kWish you best of luck

YOU don't . you learn about mathmatics in 8 weeks. YOU can learn how to work out divison, multiplication , subtraction , and addition in 8 weeks but it takes practice and you learn how to apply math.
Once yuou learn to divid, add, substract, multiply than you learn to apply that progress to everyday problems.
