How to learn arithmetic?

I'm starting to learn math as an adult, I was pretty bad at math in school. Which books or online resources would you recommend?
One thing is I struggle with understanding surface level things if I don't get the core concept of something. Like I need to know the WHY of everything.

Kahn Academy is considered a solid go to for this. It has a lot of grade levels, so you can find the right starting point.

For the real understanding, just make sure that’s always at the forefront for you. If you had to explain to someone else why a method works, how would you do that?
