When the teacher needs to brush up on math skills!

If it's been a while since you were in school and are maybe a bit rusty when it comes to fractions and decimals, or whether you have a high schooler who is doing algebra or even calculus, some colleges and universities have free online tutorials to help you brush up on your skills. Mr. L's Math has a list of ten free tutorials.

You can also find some excellent videos on various math concepts courtesy of YouTube. Maria Miller of Math Mammoth has a few excellent videos, as well as some downloadable worktexts (hey, who says they're just for kids?).

For the kids, there are also fun math tutorials, such as this one called Mathland, which is a series of videos.

*With the YouTube videos, I do recommend that parents watch them first. Sometimes I may miss something objectionable.
