The Teaching Company has  a course - Mastering the Fundamentals of Mathematics.  Too bad it isn't on sale right now.  Maybe you could borrow it from a library or a friend.

 

For just basic review this summer, we are going to use Math Minutes.

Horizons 6 is a great review before algebra. It has helped my kids solidify their basic arithmetic skills tremendously.

My DD12 has the same issues with math facts, fractions, decimals, and percents. I'm going to have her work through the LOF Fractions, and Decimals and Percents books this summer. Also, I have some reproducible math facts drill books. I'm thinking of paying her 50 cents per 5 minute speed drill she can pass. My mom did that with us when we were kids and it was a great motivator to get them memorized. :-) I'm hoping this approach will get us the review and progress we need without feeling too much like school.

Thanks! After looking through everyone's suggestions, we're going to try the Mastering Math Essentials book combined with Prodigy.
