I found "Evernote" this am. It is for Macs but there is a version for MS too (One Note)... it can also be downloaded on Droids (Verizon) cool for note taking

This is a great site for extra worksheets (answers included) for pre-Algebra, Algebra, and Geometry.
It has some group/game ideas too (minimal).
