Check out the game banana hunt at @http://www.oswego.org/ocsd-web/games/bananahunt/bhunt.html

In the game students attempt to make a given angle and are awarded bananas for accuracy. I find students throughout MYP enjoy playing.

www.mathisfun.com is a good time. Check out the symmetry artist section at @http://www.mathsisfun.com/geometry/symmetry-artist.html

There is a fun investigation related to the frog puzzle, @http://www.hellam.net/maths2000/frogs.html You are trying to find a rule that determines how many moves are required to take a given number of frogs from one side of the pond to the other. Allow the students to play the game for a while, recording in a table the number of frogs on each side and the number of moves required to cross the pond. Students will use the table to aid them in develop their rule. There is a more attractive version of the frog game on the UK website mymaths.co.uk, but you have to pay to use that service.
