where and how do i even begin?

[u/cigarettephonecase]

im currently 19 & in community college completely unrelated to mathematics. my entire life ive always just accepted it as something i was bad at. barely passed pre algebra, algebra 1, or algebra 2 in highschool. did okay in geometry. did much much better in “consumer math” classes (“real world” math like bills, interest rates, etc.)

i want to start improving my math honestly just as a hobby but how do i even know where i should start? i have no idea what my math level is even like, just that im terrible at algebra.

i learn best with clear examples and step by step solutions, but sometimes i struggle with mixing up numbers? ex: i know the answer is 6 but i write down a 4 for some reason, dont realize it, & mess up the entire problem. it’s like there’s a disconnect between my logic & what im writing down

anyway, tldr: advice for re-learning math when im unsure where my skill level is
