Critical thinking explained in six kid-friendly animations If you've been looking for a crash course in basic logic - or just want to explain to a friend exactly what a logical fallacy is - turn your attention to these simple, easy-to-understand videos, which lay out the basics of critical thinking. Creative solutions agency Bridge 8 created these animations to offer a basic overview of critical thinking. The videos were designed for an audience of kids (Edit: Australian grades, not ages) 8-10, but they're handy for anyone who wants to brush up on their logic. The first video (up top), provides an introduction to critical thinking and how we form judgments and opinions.

A great maths site with excellent games. Really good for older kids too with some great games on Algebra, trigonometry, logic puzzles, worded problems, area perimeter etc

Lots of good Internet based games: e.g Algebra puzzles which could be used to form the basis for a lesson or also could be used as an intro warm up or early finishers activity.  Most activities would suit upper primary, however some extension students would benefit from playing the games.   Has a good selection of logic games e.g. factory balls and popular games, such as battleships.  Has a good selection of instructional maths videos, which look very useful.
