Abstract. We describe the creation and utilization of a collection of Internet-based materials as supplemental instruction for students enrolled in the first-semester course of a general chemistry sequence. These tutorial and self-assessment materials are intended for asynchronous use as a review of mathematical concepts and skills including functional performance with calculators.
