Internet Resources for in class use
http://math.hippocampus.org/
An extensive collection of online exposition of topics from algebra and calculus. (As well as Bio, Chemistry, Physics, etc. Some support for Spanish.) Includes a voice delivering reading of the text (with a skip forward feature), and assessment along the way. Not clear what the purchase of a license adds, but everything I’ve seen was free.

Games

K-8 math games. Not very challenging, but there are students for wom this will be just right. Connected with Poptropica, which my kids love, and features some decent problem solving.

Huge collection of flash games – not all kid appropriate. Some excellent math and reasoning games, though. Try 3D logic, a maze game on 3 cube faces (http://gprime.net/game.php/3dlogic), gridlock, the classic game (http://gprime.net/game.php/gridlock) or grow island, a deductive reasoning game (http://gprime.net/game.php/growisland), and one of a family of grow games (http://www.eyezmaze.com/grow/v3/index.html).
