    Moving digits is an interactive teaching program (ITP) which allows you to demonstrate the effect of multiplying and dividing by 10 and 100. By dragging cards from the set of digit cards, different decimal numbers can be displayed. These decimal numbers can be placed in either of the two middle rows. The cards in the first row move when the multiply or divide buttons are selected. The cards will not move if the result is greater than 99 999 or less than 0.01. The cards in the second row do not move in order to highlight the shift in the digits when multiplying or dividing.

    Multiplication facts is an interactive teaching program (ITP) which allows you to represent multiplication as repeated addition using a grid of blocks or counters. The grid can also be hidden. You first select the number of rows and columns in the grid. As the children count in steps equivalent to the number of blocks or counters in a column, you can identify each additional column using the pointers. As you do so, these are represented as steps, equivalent to the size of the column, along a number line. A similar representation appears on the screen when moving along the rows.

    Number facts is an interactive teaching program (ITP) which displays up to 20 coloured counters and the corresponding addition sentence. The number of counters you select, appear on the screen in purple. Click on any counter to change its colour, the number sentence also changes. To hide and reveal the number sentence, click on the box with the question marks. You can replace a number in the number sentence with a question mark by clicking on the number, and drag counters around the screen to form groups.

This website provides a number line that can be manipulated and customized. 

http://www.primarygames.co.uk/

This site offers many different math related games and challenges. Some are timed activities and most can be customized according to levels etc. My students enjoy this site and we use it to introduce or review a concept for a few minutes during thte lesson in a game format. It has a “For Evaluation Only” background on each activity but it does not interfere with the playing of the games.
