This great site from NM State has videos that can be seen online or games that can be downloaded to the students' Ipods.
"Math Snacks are short animations and mini–games designed to help learners "get it". Each snack presents a mathematical concept, particularly those addressed in grades 6, 7 and 8. Ideal for use in a classroom or on your own, they can even be placed on mobile devices for "homework". The accompanying print materials can assist learners in applying their conceptual understanding to math problems." The website is http://www.mathsnacks.org/
The site shows how to do ratios, scale and proportions and equality. I think that the for some students, this would be a very cool way to learn a new math concept.
