I am in the same boat with you, just not from US. I am eager to learn English from absolutely ground 0, from grade 1, currently I can access all math textbooks in my country which is really good, I think the best way is read the page 1 like you are kid to the last page. This can simulate the environment and will not miss any subtle details which later may proved to be very important to go further in math world.

However, I got a question, where to buy/find all math textbooks a kid would use in USA? I tried, but can't any clues on this. Since I am eager to check how USA kids learn math from grade 1 straight to the undergraduate.

A website called WorldCat, but seems lack school textbooks.

I just need a complete textbook lists of grade 1 math -- undergraduate math. I understand different schools may use different textbooks, but where to find the catalog? I can't find them!

As a former child from the US, my only recommendation is not to take the US school system too seriously. Every state has a different system which is further broken down into subsystems where the quality of education can be completely different. 20 years ago the standard quality of math education was terrible where I grew up, I spent my whole life trying to find resources that were outside of the system. And when I was a teachers assistant during university I was often surprised how little math the students knew. That being said, find a textbook on algebra with a solutions manual and do all the exercises. If you can't figure out an exercise use online tutorials or lectures to make sure you understand all the concepts. If you can figure out all the rules and tricks of algebra you'll have a more solid foundation than a huge proportion of American university students and you'll be ready to apply them to the other fields of math you want to study.
