I was shown a large number of online learning links that might prove helpful, especially around numeracy. I investigated them all and these four I thought the best, in that I thought these offered great learning interactivity with minimal “outside” intervention and/or cost. Some of these sites expect students (or teachers/parents) to register and that feels painless enough for most people. Below is my 'prize' group. Of course I may find other good sites at a later stage.
Geoboards online: https://apps.mathlearningcenter.org/geoboard/?fbclid=IwAR1d2q6S42gDCeMh6nuYTEL1HPZWR3TMW-iP3BPy1WiNt1KdPUWjl8QP0Jo
This is using virtual rubber bands on a nailed board with pencil support if it's needed. I was amazed that there was no advertising or requests for personal info.
Maths is Fun: https://www.mathsisfun.com/index.htm
Jenny Cottle of https://jennycottle.wixsite.com/jennysmathslinks led me to this good site. Her own site was crowded with other tempting links. I thought “Maths is Fun” has the full range of maths disciplines and seems clear enough for students to engage with and learn unassisted.
Interactive maths tests like the example above: https://au.ixl.com/math/year-5/word-problems-with-extra-or-missing-information
Interactive maths challenges are provided to those who have the ability to read carefully. You can become a member for unlimited practice after a very brief 'trial' to get you in. It is good that there is immediate feedback and instruction when an error is made instead of waiting until the end and that makes it good in my eyes.
This final choice provides a finite number of maths challenges encouraging a growth mindset, labelled as brain teaser puzzles: https://illuminations.nctm.org/BrainTeasers.aspx
