I love the getsmarter.org website! It is useful and insightful for the students to see how they compare with other children their own age around the world.
My favorite website of these is CyberChase. I'm diggin' the tunes and it forces you to look at comparisons of fractions, decimals, and percents in different ways. I like the pictures with funky-shaped equal size pieces and that 2/10 might look like 1/5 in the picture... I also like that 1/4 can be 1/4 colored or 1/4 not colored.
I also really like the Illuminations one for exploring equivalent fractions. It took me a minute to figure it out, but once I did, I saw several possibilities for how to use it.
I liked GetSmarter too and its music. The cartoons were way cute and dealt with math concepts, but were distracting to me as I was trying to solve the problems.
I liked the getsmarter site. I also liked the cyber chase site. I know that I have several students that watch the show. This would be a great site to pass on to them.

Several needed ActiveX.
I really like the getsmarter.org link. I also liked the Teacher Tube. Thank you for finding things for us.

My favorite game for fractions was the Cyber Chase: Mission Magnetite. It worked with comparing and contracting percents, fractions, and a picture.
Some of the games will be very helpful. Many of the games did not read the instructions to the students, which is a problem for struggling readers.
I think students would enjoy cyberchase-but they would need instruction in percents first
I really liked the fraction games and the GetSmarter - fun!
