Re: Math Basics need Strengthening/Reinforcement

Ok, I don't know if all schools have these, but I'd go to the math assistance center. It's a great place full of educated students who can really help review such things. In fact, I work at a MAC to help people and to constantly review things. That job is the reason my strengths are algebra and geometry. Sure I can do calc, but I prefer to constantly review the basics.

Also, I'm glad you noted that its a good thing your teacher nitpicks about such things. As I always tell people: if you build a bridge and can explain why it should be standing, it really doesn't matter to the people who are in the river from when it collapsed. One moved decimal can be catastrophic in engineering, good luck with figuring this out.
