Self-study High School Math Textbooks? I'm new to this website so I apologize in advance if what I'm going to ask isn't meant to be posted here.
A bit of background though: I haven't been to school in 6 years and the last level I've graduated was Grade 7 due to financial problems, as well as my mom frequently being in and out of the hospital. I am now 18 and I wish to go to college as soon as I can, but I need to be caught up on all the math I've missed (I have been studying these past few years with what's available on the internet, but I don't think it's enough).
So my question is, are there any good, easy to understand, high school math books suited for my situation? I learn better with a teacher who can explain the lesson, but since I don't have one I'd prefer books that aren't too difficult, but at the same time provide everything necessary for high school level math and more. I used to be a bright student so I'm sure I can do this on my own with the right material.
Again, if this question isn't meant to be on this site I'd be more than willing to delete it asap! That's all. Thank you for reading. :)
 A: You can start Higher Algebra by Hall and Knight.
Elementary Number Theory by David Burton. (Great for theory, might wanna do Justin Stevens)
Circles by Dimitri would be good for beginners.
Books by Titu Andreescu are really nice for some advanced prep.
These books are great for Olympiad level preparation.
A: Books by Bernard Child, SL Loney are awesome.
Do try problems in calculus of one variable by IA Maron.
Thomas's Calculus is alse good for in-depth knowledge.
Problems in mathematics is good for it's problems (there are too many of them).
Best of luck for your studies.
A: Try out this book.I am sure it will help!!

A: Good complimentary books to go with whatever resources you chose are the Schaum’s Outline series. You can find some high school level math books in these series with a lot of practice problems and full solutions. Good luck! https://www.mhprofessional.com/schaum-s
A: http://tutorial.math.lamar.edu is really good for calculus. I’ve never used the non-calc parts, but from a cursory look, they look of the same quality. Don’t use it exclusively though, since it is designed for a single college course, it has to skip some portions that there is more time to teach in high school.
A: Currently, these two websites are down for me. (If anyone can check, please let me know if it isn't.) I will remove the links in a few days if it is still down:
math30.ca
math20.ca
The Math 30 website corresponds to the Alberta (Canada) Grade 12 Precalculus curriculum, and Math 20 website similarly corresponds to the Grade 11 math curriculum. Both these resources were immensely useful for understanding concepts while I was taking those classes, as they provided animations and interactive slides for demonstrating math concepts. 
I did find a pdf version of a part of the booklet available here, and a playlist for the youtube videos are for someone's 30-1 (university-stream math) class, without the interactivity. 
In my own searchings in the past, I have also found HELM booklets from the UK to be a possible source of self-study material, as they cover needed portions for engineering math from the ground up. As Carser has mentioned, Khan Academy high school math offers a lot of videos that can be self-studied, and I found Khan Academy useful up to intermediate-level university math as well (Differential Equations, Vector Calculus and the like). HELM could complement KA well by providing a "workbook" of sorts to practice from.
A huge part of my degree was spent learning about how to study as well, so here are also some tips that seem no-brainer but were good for me: 


*

*Google the concepts when you don't know them, and watch the YouTube tutorials on the similar problems

*Don't be distracted by flashy videos while you're on YouTube

*Try reworking the youtube examples after it's finished, and if there's points where you're stuck, go back and revisit the concept

*Start from the simpler questions, and work your way up in difficulty. 

*Don't give up when you encounter difficulties -there will be a lot of those times- but do remember to take breaks when you feel that sufficient progress has been made and something was too difficult to understand in one sitting

*Keep up your energy for the long run, as self-studying like this isn't done like a short sprint

*Consider enrolling in a class to get support from peers. 


Hope this helps!
