This elementary simulation allows you to take a one-way trip to the Planet Knab on the Fourth of July. The catch is paying for the return trip costs you $10,000 and you're going to need to work your way towards earning the cash to come home. Participants are required to select a job, track their monthly earnings, and complete all the necessary tax forms to keep everything above the table for the Knabian Revenue Service! This is a great activity for learning about finances and money management.

Graphing Linear Equations
http://www.terragon.com/tkobrien/algebra/

Tim O'Brien developed this site as part of his Master's Thesis, focusing on Algebra 1 content. There is a simple calculator and an interactive graphing applet that allows students to plot functions, differentials and integrals, and trigonometric functions.

A favorite section is the Assessment piece, which includes quizzes, tests and a creative Internet Scavenger Hunt that incorporates the skills taught on the site.

Online Math Applications
http://tqjunior.thinkquest.org/4116/

Here's a ThinkQuest Junior program that offers online experiences in appreciating real world Math applications. Decidedly cross curricular, these activities cover music, science, social studies and playing the stock market. The material here is very intensive and is not for the faint of heart.
