Online sites for math help/games?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Countryside : One Thread

My nephew just got his first email account (he's ten.) The family policy is that he has to do his homework and keep his grades up in order for him to keep this resource available to him.

I thought it might be fun to be able to keep up some kind of educational email...for instance, any interactive game or ??? especially if it involves math. In his case it would be for multiplication and division. Anything you could help with would be appreciated, though, math or otherwise!!!

I know that many of you are doing homeschooling and that you may have some online resources that you could share. I would be grateful if you could help in any way.

Thank you very much in advance for your help!

Mostly math, except the first one. Mostly really beautiful geometry. Some of the text may be over his head, but the designs are intriguing.

Interesting stuff, programs that do coloring pages and (I think) fractal stuff. Don't remember the age range, though:
