This is a pretty cool site.  Looks like a Dad put it together to help his kids.  Very well done...kids can earn a "certificate" at different levels of mastery.  Of course...it's FREE!

http://www.rithkid.com/

What is RithKid ?
By practicing RithKid for under ten minutes once or twice a day, your child will steadily master addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

How does it work ?
Before running off to play, tell your kid to 'Go get a Rith Certificate'. They login, answer a few simple arithmetic questions and they're done. It is gradual, steady progress so they are not stressed and it only takes a few minutes.
