This free site features 23 different interactive tutorials on a range of math concepts.  The focus is on understanding concepts, not drill.  The tutorials are "taught" by friendly animated characters-- it's not as fun as Cyberchase, but it's not too dry either.

The topics covered are: decimals, fractions, basic geometry, plotting points on an XY coordinate system, and probability.  If there's a topic that your child isn't getting or is resistant to being taught, this could be a helpful site.

Virtual age-dating is an interactive tool that describes how geologists and archeologists are able to determine the age of samples.  Aimed at high school level and above, but an interested middle school level child could grasp the concepts introduced with help.  Students should be familiar with the concept of ions , percentages and how to read data off a graph to do the exercise.  FWIW, I think the scale of some of the graphs are poorly chosen, and make it difficult to be as precise as the exercise requires; a per
