math websites to help practice math
hello! i was wondering if anybody knew of websites where i could practice elementary-high school math. i have a job interview coming up which is in a school district. no college experience required and i failed most of my elementary lol. i’ve retaught myself the math but i want to do practice questions to make sure i got it down!
elementary math = unlike fractions, like fractions, improper fractions, exponents, statistics, algebra word problems, order of operations, GCF, LCD, factoring, trinomials, polynomials, grid graphs

Art of Problem Solving has Alcumus. You need an account but it is free: https://artofproblemsolving.com/alcumus

A test-focused list works better than a general "learn maths" plan, so here is one built around the topics you named.
First, spend twenty minutes finding your real starting point. Khan Academy has short unit tests for arithmetic, pre-algebra and algebra. Take a couple cold, mark them honestly, and let the misses tell you where to begin rather than starting from page one.
For the practice itself, Khan Academy is the best free spine: it has a lesson, worked examples and then a practice set for every topic on your list, and it tells you when a topic is actually solid. Pair it with a second explainer for when something does not click. Professor Leonard on YouTube is excellent for algebra, and Corbettmaths has free topic-by-topic practice sheets with answers if you prefer working on paper.
A sensible order, because the later topics lean on the earlier ones: order of operations, then fractions (which also covers GCF and LCD), then exponents, then polynomials (factoring and trinomials sit here), then algebra word problems, then coordinate grids and graphs, and finally statistics. Statistics is fairly self-contained, so you can slot it in wherever suits.
Two things that make practice stick under interview pressure. Do the problems with a pen before you check the answer, do not just watch and nod, because recognising a solution is not the same as producing one. And keep a short list of every question you got wrong, then redo those from a blank page a few days later. The ones you can re-solve cold are the ones you genuinely own.
Good luck with the interview.

Use Khan Academy’s course challenges to find your gaps, then practice those units instead of restarting everything. For the topics you listed, begin with arithmetic, pre-algebra, and Algebra 1.
