My son is in remedial (or intensive - whatever you want to call it) math. They are one lesson behind the rest of the other math class. They are just starting algebra. Is there a good online resource that he could use to practice at home? I'm looking for something that will offer good instructions and worksheets, and preferably free. I found a few sites, but they seemed more along the lines of students who already know algebra.
Thanks so much.

Did you ask the teacher for resources???
I know there are a ton of sites, and my kids used a few in particular for prealgebra....cant recall what they were at the moment though....

What ajsmom said. That is a great resource and it's free.

TN, I didn't ask his teachers. I didn't even really think about it, to be honest. I usually find all this stuff on my own and when I was having issues finding something good I came here. 
Thanks ajsmom and h0peles, I'll check that site out

Thanks for the sites. I have bookmarked all of them. They look great. I've also signed up with the Khan Academy. I think these sites will help my son.
Thanks again!
