Challenge students who "get done early" by allowing them to advance their own learning on Khan Academy.
Khan Academy is free. Each student can be assigned his/her own username. Khan Academy leads the student through math questions, keeping track of what the student has mastered or needs to learn.
On each question, the student has the option to access tips or video tutorials to help learn the concept. He/she will only receive "mastery" once able to answer the questions without these, but they are there so that the student can decide whether he/she needs to be taught.

I can:

*teach your students how to use it and facilitate beginning use (in small groups or whole-class)
*coach you in managing their accounts
Students can:
*access Khan Academy from computer, iPad, or smart phone anywhere
*accelerate to the levels they are ready for
*receive remedial instruction on basic skills
