This site has many useful features. Some are user friendly and some are not. When you click on each link within the site, it first shows you links to other websites. You have to scroll down the page to find the game or activity that you selected. Some of the games require you to download a plug in to play. Since some school have restrictions on downloading this may be an issue for some.

Sometimes you need a website like this. There is only one subject area - multiplication. If you are teaching it then you know where to go. It is nice to have a whole site dedicated to it. There are tons of games to choose from and some good teaching strategies. The site did crash on me when I clicked on some links.
