FunBrain Numbers
"Seventeen original games based on baseball, soccer, car racing and other fun things will intrigue even the most stubborn elementary-age math students. My favorites included Cookie Dough (learn to spell numbers up to 10,000 and don’t forget that compound numbers from twenty-one to ninety-nine use a dash), Change Maker (in four different currencies) and Tic-Tac-Toe Squares (not your usual Tic-Tac-Toe.) Some of the game pages were a little slow to load, but the quality of the games overshadowed this one drawback."

Eric Harshbarger’s Scrabble Challenges
"Eric Harshbarger is a programmer, Web designer, Lego maniac and Scrabble competitor. He’s a curious and creative fellow who like solving puzzles, many of his own invention. One day while thinking about Scrabble tiles, he started dreaming up challenges to solve. "Using the Scrabble letter tiles and their associated point values, which integers (0, 1, 2...), when spelled out, equal the value of their tiles? Do not use the blank tiles, and assume no bonus scoring (no Double Letter Scores, etc)?""

CoolMath
"Coolmath Karen (a college calculus teacher who doesn’t reveal her last name) has created a network of sites for kids, parents, and teachers, dedicated to the proposition that math is fun. Enter the Kids! portal for math games, fun lessons and educational calculators for elementary and middle-school students. My favorite clicks are the interactive exhibits in Cool Things (don’t miss The Splash) and the useful calculators (such as wind chill factor, dog years, savings and sales tax) in Calculate Stuff."

Coloring.com
"This site hits the mark with a large selection of pictures and the ability to e-mail your completed masterpieces to friends and family with a personal note. Not only can you fill the pictures with colors, but also with patterns such as twinkling stars, grass or granite. Free registration allows you to save completed pictures in your personal gallery, and to change the background color of the site. My only complaint is the annoying screen refresh each time color is applied."
