Games (math and others) are organized by skill, and allow students to play against friends. Arcademic Plus allows teachers to customize content and see progress reports, and is free (for now).
Lots of great games organized by skill, but it does have ads (unless you get a subscription).

National Library of Virtual Manipulatives
This is a great site for SmartBoards and LCD’s - demonstrates math concepts across the grade spans!
Sal Khan wants to provide a virtual education to the world for free, so he has recorded hundreds of math “chalk talks” on a vast range of skills. The short video clips might be a helpful way highlight a particular math concept for your class. Or you can teach yourself some calculus! It’s all there....
