Welcome to Free Online Mathematics Resources!
I have to admit that not only as a Mathematics teacher but as a human being I have always loved Mathematics. Although I find Mathematics extremely entertaining (yes, you read it correctly, it is entertaining), mind challenging, refreshing and easy, I do understand that there are many people who dislike it.
I also strongly believe that this comes from poor childhood teaching. In my search for more and more interesting and helpful resources I have realised that the cybernet is full of great free resources. So, I decided to collect them and list them here for those interested in either learning or teaching Mathematics.

- when i read the title "cyber maths" i thought i would see a lens with really advanced mathematics with a matrix touch or something .....(me and my crazy and distorted imagination)
I can totally understand someones love for maths and i totally respect it.....I have said that again i think in another lens...it is not the students or teachers fault for people hating maths or other subjects...it is the systems fault....some of you may think i am crazy but try to think about it for a minute....because every human is born with EXACTLY the same abilities to learn stuff...but in the way something goes wrong and there you have a maths hater...

- I liked math when I was younger but later on, it became too complicated and I lost interest.
I must say that I liked "boys" better......
