Coolmathgames.com and sister site Coolmath4kids.com both have interactive online math games for kids.

Primarygames.com has some cool maths games for different age groups. Math Eggs, for example, has kids catching eggs with either even or odd numbers — a fun, fast-paced way to practise, with different speed levels to choose from.
