Multiplication.Com
Grade 2-4 (or any student struggling with or learning multiplication)
Subject: Math-multiplication
Mac/PC
This site offers a variety of free games that don't need downloading or membership! It has many really neat and fun games for children. A Friend of mine who is a second grade teacher turned me on to this site. She used to use it with her second graders when they were done with there work early. The games are simple for all students to follow. There are some games on the site that are not in the main area, and they require downloading, membership or payment. These games are not a part of the website and take you to a new site. If you show the students the are with the games they can play, this should not be a problem.
This site also offers printable pages, activities and flash cards. There is also an area that has resources for teachers/parents to further help teach times tables.

This website is designed to help teach children how to read. It requires registration to access all that it offers, but without registration you can still have access to animated stories, animated song stories, short songs, art and music, stories by kids, puzzles and something they call concept corner. The concept corner is an animated book that teaches about certain concepts like autumn, spring and veteran's day.
This website offers a lot for children, and is easy to use. There aren't adds or anything distracting. The site is very easy to navigate. Although it requires registration to access more, there is so much on the site you can get a lot out of it without registering.
FunBrain.Com
Grade 1-8
Subjects: Math, Reading and English, they even have Sudoku
Mac/PC
This site offers games and resources for reading, English and math. It offers a variety games for multiple age levels. There is also a fun blog spot which gives a different random fact for everyday of the year. (kids can't write or post on this blog) The only downfall is that there is so much on here it may be hard for a younger student to navigate the site. This could be remedied, though, by having the teacher show the student where to go, or having the game/activity page already pulled up for the student.

I love this assignment because I always find new resources. MightyBooks is a real gem--easy to use, very rich in features, and it seems to load up quickly. This is one of those times that a teacher could register with a classroom name--e.g., SmithClass--and have all of the students use her login to access the site so that they can access the extended features. Great site!
I agree with your assessment of FunBrain--great stuff, but it's almost too busy to be useful.
Thanks for contributing these excellent resources.
Wow I really liked the mighty books site. I can't wait to show that to my own kids at home. I actually chose the fun brain site as well but like you I found it to be quite busy. That didn't mean my kids stopped playing all the games.
The mighty book site is interesting. I think I might have to show it to my aunt for her three children that are in that age range. I like the multiplication site because a lot of students seem to have problems with multiplication and there are print-outs and flashcards too!
I think the multiplication site would be great for 420 fieldwork. I sit with several students and they might make more progress if they did one of these because they are fun. I'll talk to the teacher.
