Math can be difficult to understand for some, but the Ontario Government is trying to make it simpler with a new website.
Homework Help is a website which offers help in math to Ontario students in grades seven to 10, free of charge. As students grow up in a technological age, students can now receive the help they need, and parents have been offered help as well to assist kids’ with their homework.
Tutors with Homework Help have already guided students to help answer over 40,000 math questions in the last year.
