In their book Assistive Technology in the Classroom, Dell, Newton and Petroff (2012) quote that "The National Mathematics Advisory Panel (2008) states, "Understanding core concepts is a necessary component of proficiency with arithmetic and is needed to transfer previously learned procedures to solve novel problems" (p.130) They further state that students need automaticity, fluency and conceptual understanding to be able to solve complex mathematical problems.
Some tools that support these processes are:
Internet 4 Classrooms Free, high quality resources
National Library of Virtual Manipulatives: Free, resources can be browsed using subcategories.
Virtual Laboratories of Probability: High quality but free resources for students of statistics.
Math Playground: Graded practice modules provide games that reinforce important concepts.
Conceptua Math: Online common core curriculum for elementary and middle school students.
Destination Math: Online math curriculum from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
