Prodigy |
Prodigy is an online turn-based RPG with varying levels of math problems for kids to solve. With a rich story-line, easy to use UI, and nostalgic PS2 graphics, this game is a great way for students to review and revisit past concepts without ever knowing it because of how much fun they're having casting spells, defeating enemies, and leveling up their mages.

Khan Academy |
Khan Academy is a great resource for students and teachers alike. It was founded by Salman Khan, who at the time was merely making an instructional video for a relative. Khan Academy offers video tutorials on a wide range of subjects as well as practice problems and questions to check for understanding. There are also several videos available in each subject that allow students to make connections across subjects.

Numberkiz |
Numberkiz is a great resource for students and teachers alike. Similar to Khan Academy, Numberkiz offers a large collection of lectures from people around the world. However, unlike Khan Academy, Numberkiz's prime focus is on mathematics. Numberkiz also comes with an interactive whiteboard app for teachers to record their lectures and/or lessons and post it to the Numberkiz website.

WolframAlpha |
Wolfram Alpha is a computational search engine (sometimes referred to as an "answer engine"). The interface looks similar to that of a regular search engine, such as Google, but queries typed into the search box show answers to specific questions rather than listings of websites that may be relevant to the query. It may be used to solve mathematical problems, or to find some information on a specific topic.

Purple Math |
Purple Math is an online resource that generally focuses on math from grades K-12, and even has some sections on college level math such as Algebra. It is primarily a collection of lessons that are available for public use, and there are even some links to get help from real people such as tutors or former college professors. This resource offers a different way of solving algebraic problems than are usually offered.
