Absurd Math
http://www.learningwave.com/abmath/

Taking word problems to a new level, Absurb Math is an episodic story game that integrates pre-algebra level math into the game play. To start a new game, choose an episode and a username. To continue a game previously started, enter a page code, along with your username. Each game page has a page code, a calculator, and a hint (if you need it.) These four episodes are free, but Learning Wave also sells a subscription service that includes over fifty interactive math stories. "The Airtight College is shipping some of its Dissolvent Solvent to the cult members of the Toxic Templex. Your quest to save the alien creature continues, as you search the offices of the Department of Diabolics."

Glencoe: WebQuest Projects Pre-Algebra
http://www.glencoe.com/sec/math/prealg/prealg03/webquest/index.php4/na

Textbook publisher Glencoe has created five WebQuests that can be enjoyed by all pre-algebra students, even those using a different pre-algebra text. Each Internet project includes a task that requires online research, and suggested websites are included. For example, Unit 1 involves creating a website or a brochure promoting three seven-day vacation packages for a family of four. Each package must include transportation, lodging and entertainment, and cost between $2500 to $5500.

GoMath: Algebra Solutions
http://www.gomath.com/algebra.html

GoMath Pre-Algebra includes twelve common topics, such as negative numbers and square roots. Each topic page includes examples, rules, a link to a complete lesson, and a link to a printable worksheet. But the heart of each topic page is the calculator which not only provides answers, but shows you step-by-step how the answer is computed. In other words, this calculator shows its work! You can input your own values, or click Practice to have the calculator generate problems for you.
