And so, if you are truly fed up with the school stat

"Graph functions, plot tables of data, evaluate equations, explore transformations, and much more - for free!"

Desmos is an online graphing calculator that allows the user to plot points, graph lines and parabolas. A variety of common algebraic functions are included with sliders, allowing the user to manipulate the data in real time and see the results of those changes. Students can also use it to create math art on coordinate grids.

Great resource covering several threads in math - number and operations, algebra, measurement.... Lots of tools available, by grade. Covers a wide variety of Common Core Standards.
