This site offers several interesting interactives for practicing math concepts at the elementary level. Many games go beyond the standard rote-type practice and involve critical thinking skills. For example, <i>Beads on a String</i> asks you to create a bead necklace using a pattern, but then asks that bead number 102 be blue adding difficulty to the challenge. Other activities involve estimation, money, logic, and symmetry. Activities can be sorted by age (5-12).rn<B>Parts of this site appear in Dutch and you may have to simply hit the "translate" button to see the instruction in English</B>.
