Great math interaction site for "beginners" (algebra, geometry, even calculus)

Each part of a lesson is at most around 2 minutes, and easy to absorb, with lots of quizzes in between.

This is awesome.  Whenever I hear people say that they aren't math-oriented or are not good at it, I usually ask myself the following question: are you not good at it, or was it just presented in a way that was ultimately incompatible with how you learn and process information?

I've encountered that many people learn best by doing; simply telling people how and why things work is not enough.  Hence, an interactive approach to learning helps people solidify the concepts.  More importantly, the interactive nature of this website seems to make math fun and enjoyable, which IMO, are absolutely crucial for success in any intellectual endeavor. Thanks for posting this, Irrational
