Prodigy
Alexandra F.: This is a fun role-playing game where kids get a wizard avatar and have to use math to cast spells against their enemies. My kids have loved playing it through most of their elementary school years and even into middle school, especially since the game adapts in difficulty based on the child's ability and grade. You can play the game on your web browser without having to download anything. It also has multiplayer options so kids can play online with friends, too.
