← Finding Where to Start · Lesson 1 of 3

Start where it is easy

About it

When adults come back to a subject, they often start too hard, with the topic they remember failing. The first weeks feel like proof they cannot do it.

Start lower than you need to. The aim of the first lesson is to get something right and feel the subject open, not to find your limit.

One question

You want to brush up on maths after many years. Where should you start?

Say it back
A lesson is kept once you've answered the question and written at least 8 words. Nobody grades it; it stays on this device.
