ABCYA.com is a great resource for fun, educational, interactive games for grades K-5 in most every content area. Games are a great way to motivate kids to learn and apply the knowledge they've learned to activities. There are also a slew of "just for fun" games that can be used as rewards for good behavior. It's free and accessible anywhere with internet, and I know from personal experience that kids not only love it but also benefit from it!
ACTIVINSPIRE clickers
Clickers are a great way to boost student participation and accountability, while also observing and analyzing what students are and are not grasping. The clickers can be assigned by number to each student. In other words, the teacher can tell which student answered which questions correctly or incorrectly and can thereby pinpoint the problems any given student is having with the material. This all goes without mentioning that students, especially in the younger grades love the clicker idea.
FASTTMATH
Fasttmath is a fun, interactive way for students, particularly those who are struggling, to strengthen their basic math facts through practice and gaming.
