Practice! Check out Khan Academy to learn concepts. Run through practice problems until it becomes second nature. Wolfram Alpha is a great resource for finding solutions (it's only helpful if you know what you're calculating, though!).

Make sure not to focus on just drills and solving equations. Word problems are going to help you much more with application of the concepts, even if they tend to be a bit more difficult IMO.

If you just want to focus on programming/web development, the most math you'll probably need is a decent grasp of algebra. If you're set on going further into CS, you'll definitely want a strong grasp of advanced algebra and trigonometry going into university (they may offer courses to help you get caught up if needed).
