  • Web Math -- A combination of online calculators and refresher lessons on how to do things like find a sale price, slope/intercept, etc.  The interesting thing about this site is that it asks you for some information, then uses that in giving a lesson.  For instance, if you want to know how to find a sale price, you are asked for the original price of the item and the % off.  You then will see a screen with directions for how to find the answer as well as the answer itself.  Also has some software and QuickTime math movies.
  • PurpleMath -- Algebra lessons by by Elizabeth Stapel of Western International University, Phoenix. Many good topics well done. (She's really nice about allowing you to link to individual lessons.) One of my favorites to send students to.
