WolframAlpha
My favorite site for checking your math work. Use it on the web or download the app for your phone or ipad. Helpful for any calculation.

istudious - a flashcard app
Another great resource for virtual flashcards is an ipad app that is available in the itunes store. The paid version is about $6.00. What I like about this app versus the other free flashcard apps is that you can use a stylus pen to write directly on the flashcard, or you can use the keyboard to type in text. I think that for math especially the ability to capture your handwriting becomes important as we start to use more and more mathematical symbols or for graphing or drawing shapes.

MV Library
Is your student too distracted studying at home? Are you limited on private study space? The local library is a great, quiet place for students to do homework and study.

Tutoring
If you still feel like your child requires additional instruction, the next best place to turn is a private tutor. This can be costly, so encourage your child to have specific questions ready. This site uses only registered tutors and is therefore somewhat more reliable then craigslist.
