What is math? Math, shortened for mathematics, is a scientific discipline based on the study of numbers and geometric relationships.
And dorks is the name that was traditionally given to a group of often socially inept, silly people. However, since people care less and less about that particular tradition, dorks is due for a reinvention. And this time with a positive connotation.
Now, you may wonder what that has to do with our site here. Well, being a bit dorky ourselves, we found out that some silliness actually helps with studying, developing creativity and getting through some boring parts of an otherwise fantastic scientific subject. And we want to use that mental property to help you learn and love math as much as it deserves.
To that effect, Math Dorks will include more than 5,000 math worksheets with explained procedures for solving tasks, math calculators with the explanation of each and every one of them (like counting current world population, calorie counter…), more than 1,000 math games for the development of brain cells, unit converters of all kinds and many more to come.
Our main mission is to equip the young and little less young math enthusiasts (a.k.a. you) with plenty of math materials that will help them develop mathematical thinking and knowledge. Also, please keep in mind that we are doing this for free and that there are only two of us, so if you have an idea on how to improve our site, please send it via email.
The math worksheets are free („free“ is kind of a recurring theme here – we belive knowledge should be free to access) and they will be divided into 3 main parts. The first part is a short explanation of each category in a few sentences. The second part contains all the formulas for the particular category and the third part has worksheets relevant to each category. All important content (this includes math games, calculations, converters and more) will be published on the main page so it is easier to find.
Other than that, the main page will contain all of the new updates about the arrival of new categories! So do not worry, you will not miss a thing. We will keep you updated!

Example of a category on Math Worksheets
This is an example layout of each category. Let’s say that the name of the category is “Multiplication”. So in the first two lines you will be able to read what multiplication is. Under that will be the main formulas (such as a * b = b * a, etc.) that you will need to solve related tasks. Under that will be free printable math worksheets that can be downloaded with one click. Select a category on the left side of this text and you can start to grasp mathematics immediately.
