    Well, I think you're already starting up quite well by coming to Mathematics SE. Just hang around and read the problems that people post :) You will see topics that you know nothing or very little about, and that can give you ideas what to study next. – Matti P. Jun 18 '19 at 10:39

    While I really like the motivation of your question, I have voted to close it because I feel it is just not the kind of questions that can get a useful answer on this site. For one thing, without knowing you, your background and your interests, we can't really give you a meaningful list of exercises to do. And even with this knowledge there would probably be hundreds of possible exercises that one could suggest you. Perhaps you'd get more useful help by asking your math teacher for some suggestions. – Arnaud D. Jun 18 '19 at 10:51

    @ArnaudD.: nothing like encouraging the youngsters, eh? Selim, don't listen to this curmudgeon! – TonyK Jun 18 '19 at 10:57

    Perhaps helpful would be to look over some of these problems. – Dave L. Renfro Jun 18 '19 at 11:05

    If you feel like working ahead on your school mathematics, you could try Khan Academy. They have some really good videos and it's free as well. – Vsotvep Jun 18 '19 at 11:23

    Try to practice the fundamental concepts of Algebra and Arithmetic without a calculator. Try to learn Geometry fundamentals well. – NoChance Jun 18 '19 at 11:28

I myself have just cleared grade 10 and so I can relate to your situation. My suggestion would be to try for your respective country's Math Olympiad. So basically when you prepare for it, it develops your mind and thinking capacity at a very different level. It makes school maths look easy. And as Matti P. commented, you have started well by joining Mathematics SE. Hope it helps!
