MAT082 - Arithmetic Review Sites

http://www.aplusmath.com/
Flash cards and other good drills. This site has great games for practicing 082 basic skills.
http://home.blarg.net/~math/FDMENU.HTM
Drill sheets you can print with a page of answers -- Good Site
http://www.math.com/homeworkhelp/HotSubjects_fractions.html
This is a great fraction site with explanations, practice, and online examples
http://www.dep.anl.gov/aattack.htm
Strickly arithmetic sites. Generates problems and drills. Takes a little figuring.
http://amby.com/educate/math/
This site has tutorials and practice on a step by step basis.
Includes signed numbers, order of operations, fractions.

MAT092 - Algebra Sites

http://www.purplemath.com/
This site has explanation, clear, explicit and in color for a varity of Algebra topic. No Practice.
http://www.math.com/homeworkhelp/Algebra.html
Go to the Graphing and Inequalities -- Coordinate plane and do the practice exercise.
From there you can go on to solving linear equations
http://www.learningwave.com/lwonline/algebra_section2/alg_coord.html
This site is worth visiting, good visuals, mimimal practice
Strickly arithmetic sites
http://www.wtamu.edu/academic/anns/mps/math/mathlab/beg_algebra/index.htm
Beginning Algebra Home Page This is the whole Begining Algebra Graduate Record Exam review. It has discussion with good illustrations and a few examples.

Linear Equations

http://www.purplemath.com/modules/graphlin.htm
Graphing Linear Equations - I
Using tables. Very Clear excelent examples. Stresses neatness and defines the process very clearly
http://www.edhelper.com/LinearEquations.htm
Graphing Linear Equations - I
This is a work sheets only site it presumes you have a vague idea how to do these problems.
These sheets have examples with lots of fractional y-intercepts which may cause problems for you.
Inequalities
http://www.sosmath.com/algebra/inequalities/ineq01/ineq01.html
Solving Linear Inequalitites
This is a discussion plus short practices. The discussion is different from the text. This site provides answers and works out the solution but suggests that you do these your own paper first.
http://www.wtamu.edu/academic/anns/mps/math/mathlab/beg_algebra/beg_alg_tut18_ineq.htm
Solving Linear Inequalities
This is a tutorial plus short practices. The discussion uses a lot of very simple examples and leads you through the process of graphing inequalities on a number line. This site provides examples, answers and works out the solution but suggests that you do these your own paper first.
This is the algebra review site for the Graduate Record Exam but it discusses simple solutions.

Synthetic Division and Determinants -
Again Pupple Math wins on the determinant scene. Clear explanations of 2 by 2 and 3 by 3 matrix structures and how to operate on them.

http://www.purplemath.com/modules/synthdiv.htm
Good discussion on Synthetic Division and clear explanation of how to do it.

http://www.hyper-ad.com/tutoring/math/algebra/Synthetic%20Division.html
This site has "Long" division of polynomials and synthetic division. A couple of examples that you can do.

http://www.wtamu.edu/academic/anns/mps/math/mathlab/col_algebra/col_alg_tut37_syndiv.htm
Shows Synthetic Division and Long Division, good explanation of Synthetic Division tied to long division. Works out one example and some practice.
