Hey. I understand what you are going through. I remember how much i enjoyed math my previous years in school, but now its a different story. I know exactly what you are feeling.. last year i bombed math too and i also tried looking for a way to get back on track. What im doing that you can also do is....
look up sites online on the certain things that you need help with in math ( i usualy start off with the basics and i move my way up).. you can find many sites online that can give you examples of how to do the problem and they give you many practice problems with the answer so you know what you are doing wrong.
Also i look at old textbooks from previous grades and work on the math problems there. This will help build up your math skills for the harder stuff.

Thats all i can think of right now. But dont feel unmotivated. Math is great and believe it or not we will be using math for a long time. Dont get discouraged either.. lots of intelligent people struggled with certain subjects in school and the best part is when you finally see the improvement in your math. It takes time ..because nothing happens overnight..but its worth it.


And also you can check out books in the library on the certain math topics that you are struggling with.. it does help alot!


Well i hope all of this helps in some way
And remember dont give up/
