Math Academy is a (paid) website where you can learn math. There's courses on different levels of math from algebra, to calculus. You get xp for each task, and there's a leaderboard so you can see how well others are doing too. It's pretty sophisticated too. You get basic a lesson on a specific topic, then a short review some time later, and then quizzes which is a set of questions on different topics.
If you mess up on a lesson, or a review you'll fail it and will need to redo it the next day. If you mess up a quiz too much you need to redo it and you lose points for it. There's a warning where if you mess up too many lessons you'll lose more points, but I've never experienced it so I don't know if it's true or just something
In terms of effectiveness I really like it. The xp makes it easy to track how well you've been doing, and it'll give you a date as to when you'll finish the course, which isn't very fast, since each course is around 3k xp, and each task gives about 7 xp.
The creator of it has a whole book on how to effectively learn but I haven't read it just skimmed through and it seems to be pretty effective. It was also used in an 8th grade class and allowed them to do AP Calculus.
