text: i need to improve in maths in a week??? i do higher maths at international baccalaureate level. i don't know if i fully understand your question but if it is how you can improve your math skills quickly then here are some tips:  for math, practice makes perfect so doing extra problems until you get the concept really does help. i'm not sure which level math you are at but there are a great set of books that talk about math from a different perspective using wizards, trolls, kings and such -- the characters and story are really goofy but more fun than looking through a standard math book and it really does make it stick or at least it did for my son who got a 710 on the math portion of the sat's while in 9th grade. i have included links for you to look at them below but your library might have a copy or tow you can look through. it explains the concepts to help get you through.
