Table of Primes: This is an interactive demonstration showing a table of numbers with the primes highlighted. You can increase and decrease the table
size.
Educational Java Programs: This site has several java animations for use in algebra and basic math. The java applets are well done and each includes a lesson plan for
easily incorporating the application into your classroom. (contributed by Dave Forbes, WMCHS, Technology Training Participant, June 2007)
Math Arcade on Funbrain: This is by far the best game I found. It lets you select your grade level 1st-8th grade and also if your a boy or girl
and which game piece you prefer. It's a board game that consists of many different mini math games. Each time you win a game it gives you a code that allows you come come back at anytime and holds your spot on the board. (contributed by Julianna Rogers, MCC Student, Winter 2007)
PlayKidsGames - Save the Apples: There are a lot of interactive games on this site, and they all deal with different math skills and grade levels.
My favorite is called “Save the Math Apples” and has kids quickly solve math problems; if they do this successfully, then monkeys will save the apples. (contributed by Jenny Dehoff, MCC Student, Winter 2007)
ToonUniversity - Prime Factoring: This is a fun prime factorization game. Help "Professeor Super" save the planet by cooking the "Giant
Frozen Rubber Turkeys of Destruction." The student needs to answer questions about factors, prime, and composite numbers. (contributed by Julianna Rogers, MCC Student, Winter 2007)
MathPlayground.com: This site has visual demonstrations and games. (contributed by Tony Frey, MCC Student, Winter 2007)
KidZone Basic Facts Math Quizzes: You tell it how many problems, and which operation, and you get a timed quiz. (contributed by Tony Frey, MCC Student,

ToonUniversity: Awesome website. When you go to the home page you pick a grade you would like (1st - 5th) and they have about 10 activities for each grade. The
downside is you do need to be a member to be able to use some of them, but the ones I could play for free were awesome. (contributed by Kristina Anderson, MCC Student, Winter 2007)
Practice My Math: This one has practice with addition, subtraction, and identifying numbers. Very good for young boys; it has race car activities along
with baseball ones. (contributed by Kristina Anderson, MCC Student, Winter 2007)
CoolMath4Kids Rush: This site helps students use their logical and critical thinking skills. It would be an excellent game for children that are not challenged
enough in the classroom. (contributed by Emily Coffey, MCC Student, Winter 2007)
AAA Math: This website is very helpful for any child between kindergarten and eighth grade. Not only does this website help out in the fractions department, but there are many
other areas of focus throughout this website. It actually explains step by step exactly how to figure out an answer. (contributed by Amy Kuharevicz, MCC Student, Winter 2007)
Fibonacci Numbers and the Golden Section: This would be great for any kind of work with number patterns. (contributed by Carole
Sutphen, Math on the Web Participant, MCC, Winter 2007)
BBC Games: I have used this site with middle-school students, but the games do have levels of difficulty that make some of them appropriate for
this level. The "Equation Match" game is good for practicing solving equations. (contributed by Kristina Tabaczka, Math on the Web Participant, MCC, Winter 2007)
FunBrain Measure It: Interactive site that allows students to practice basic to advanced measurement using an online ruler using inches or centimeters.

Pay Day: (scroll to the middle of the page) This is not web-interactive, but it is a very cool activity for special ed students
that can be catered to almost any age. It teaches children about spending and saving, and writing checks and collecting interest (depending on age). (contributed by Alison Williams, MCC Student, Winter 2007)
