MISTM Math Portal
This site has links to many, many applets arranged by the 1997 MLR clusters (very close to the 2007 standards), a great resource.
Interactivate
The goals of Interactivate are the creation, evaluation, and dissemination of interactive Java-based courseware for exploration in science and mathematics. There are activities, tools and a dictionary for students and lessons and discussions for teachers. A new feature is “assessment” where some activities keep score for students.
NCTM Illuminations
The site has lessons (516) and interactive activities (103) that “illuminate” the standards of the Principles and Standards for School Mathematics.
