the CMT

 National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Recommended Games
Interactive Games for all different areas of mathematics.  I particularly 
like the "Factor Game" for students that need support with memorizing their 
multiplication tables.

Index of Interactive  Math Games
Index of links to interactive games that reinforce Connecticut Mastery 
skills.  When the link is accessed, there will be a list of activities by 
concept: Number and Operation, Geometry and Measurement, Functions and Algebra 
and Probability and Data Analysis. Students should begin with the easiest 
level and work up to the most difficult. I particularly like the ESTIMATOR, 
VENN DIAGRAMS, FRACTION POINTER and FRACTION FOUR. (These links are 
classified under the Number and Operation Concept link.)  Java applet must be 
loaded on your computer for these links to operate properly.
