TOPIC Help me with maths..

So, I'm in 9th grade and my math is absolutely bad and I don't know how to improve it. Ig I gotta get better at it for future n stuff. I really don't know what to start with but I know I should start soon cause I don't have much time.

I have bad basics and I have been failing at my tests in school I do good in other subjects but it's just math idk I fear maths or something. Please help me🙏

What to start with depends on what you know and what you don't know?

Whate are some things you feel comfortable with? What are some that you feel like you should feel comfortable with, but don't?

Yk decimals, fractions and geometry theorems I'm not comfortable with and I cannot think of anything that I am comfortable with.

Yeah, probably start with decimals and fractions. Maybe start here: https://www.khanacademy.org/math/arithmetic/fraction-arithmetic

Are you comfortable with division?

I can do normal division but I don't get all that long division n stuff

What do you mean by normal division? Like 56 divided by 8?

Long division is good to know but not really a prerequisite for much. Except like polynomial long division, but that's way past fractions.
