Most of you have probably already visited this site, but, just in case, I want to make sure that you and your students are aware of www.khanacademy.org. This site houses a collection of videos on many subjects including math and science. Each section is divided into easy-to-navigate categories and sub-categories. So far, I've had a lot of success using it in the classroom, especially in areas such as fractions and probability. The math section begins with basic addition and subtraction and goes as far as we would every need! The student will need headphones to access this material as each lesson is narrated. If you play the video above, you'll see an example of one of their earlier videos posted on YouTube.
Also, try out the site's "Practice" section. It allows students to answer practice questions in any area of math. It even supplies hints if the student gets stuck and directs them to the video that could provide extra help.
