We started with Khan Academy, which was good but IMO didn't have enough practice (just straight from a lesson to a quiz, which a kid might get lucky on and think she's mastered the skill).

Then we added in some IXL (which we had access to via the school). That allows for lots of practice of new and old concepts, and it requires more thorough demonstrations of mastery. I also used free websites to generate worksheets for skills like long multiplication and division.

Right now we're looking at AoPS and Po-Shen Lo for her main curriculum for next year.
