A lot of math is cumulative, i.e. built on top of the prior concepts/tools. There are some things that are effectively the start of their own branches, but a lot of them then go back into a tangle of general mathematics that's all deeply interrelated, and also a subject onto itself when you get into ways to convert problems into totally different representations to use other mathematical tools on them.
In your case, follow something like Khan academy through the normal grade school programs to pick up where you left off and work backwards on picking up any concepts you're weak on then pursue whatever threads interest you. Wolfram can also help you look up specific things or find necessary formulas if, e.g. you just need the formula for a cone or to know how to integrate sin().
