Cool Math computer games

I found some really cool math websites in my INSTRUCTOR magazine and I thought I would share them. They give really good practice, Hailey had to fight Ogres in a haunted castle, she had to do multiplication facts quickly to win. I also love the tangram website which is a GREAT precursor for geometry.
