Hi,
So you have taken up the old tiles and you are left with notched adheisive on the floor. You can remove with a chisel drill with a 3" chisel attched. Or you could buy some self leveler from a tile shop, mix and pour over the floor and this will level up ready for tiling. best the put the self leveler down late evening so it will dry by morning.

all the best
