I've got one. It's called The Math Page. It's got lots of reference notes for almost any topic (except 3-d geometry), and exercises that tesT your understanding. It's the same thing as you find on TheMathPage website, except that once you getbthe app,m you don't need WiFi to use it.

Hi Jamie - what age group?

Khan Academy has a website and an app (Algebra 1) that is GREAT!!

A website that allows students to work at their own pace and sends you (and parents) "report cards" is:

www.tenmarks.com

 

A list of others I have used in class (6th & 7th Grade)

DiaMath - basic algebra function

Math Tour - basic math with a little added Geography

Pizza Fraction - fractions with pizza - go figure! ;-)

Slice It - fractions

Factor Factory - factoring

Flashcards Pro - allows you to create sets of flashcards online for the students to use for review on their itouch or ipad

FlowMath - multiplication

Fraction Factory

Freddie Fraction

Math Knack Genius - basic math functions

Motion Math - fractions, decimals, percents

Pearl Diver - fractions

Picturing Fractions

Pop Math Basic - very basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division

 

These are just some that my kids really enjoyed playing.

Check into Ten Marks though... it is a GREAT program and still FREE for teachers!!

Regards

~Candace

Thanks Candace for all your suggestions. The age group I teach is high school so 15-18 year olds. Practicing with fractions is a major concern of mine. Too often my students ask if they can use a decimal instead. However, sometimes the fraction is actually easier. Thanks again for you list.
