Math games for 8th to 12th graders
Hello. Does anyone know about any games that teach math to 8th to 12th graders? I'm looking for something like the Jumpstart series (it was for preschool to 6th grade though) but it taught through the child playing a game. Do you know of anything like this (whether free or not) that I can use online or download? It doesn't have to teach only math either. It can teach history and english, etc. Do you know where I can get something like this?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Am I a highfunctioning autistic or just a dork
24 years old. Graduated high school and college. Good grades, no special education.
I was late talking. I was a few years old before I really started using sentences and conversing with family members. My mom tells me that I didn't like to be picked up and I was happy playing alone (not many other kids around to play with though). She said that I often wouldn't respond when I was called by name. From that age, autism sounds likely. My brother talked early, has always been very chatty, and likes to be the center of attention. I think he might have been hard to compete with when we were little, but maybe I gave up too easily.
Eventually, I started talking. I went to preschool and did fine. Kindergarten, elementary school - fine. I talked with classmates, didn't have any behavioral problems, but never had a "best friend." Middle school, we moved into a neighborhood with lots of kids. We all rode BMX bikes and played video games at each other's houses. This was the most normal social period of my life. My mom always made me wear stupid clothes and cut my hair herself - it made me self conscious. My friends in this period might have been attributable to the old real estate adage "location, location, location." Kids were around me - that might not have meant I earned their friendship using communication skills, but rather from being in the right place at the right time.
Late middle school and high school, my social life went on a steep decline. I separated from the old neighborhood kids. I stopped understanding how to mesh with groups of people. Groups made me nervous (and still do). I couldn't understand "cool." No girlfriends. I still involuntarily dressed dorky, and formed an extreme attachment to video games. I had no friends. I couldn't hold substantial conversations with anyone about anything. I didn't like how I looked. I'm skinny, my chest bone is kinda crooked which always made me self conscious and nervous with the idea of having a girlfriend, or going swimming with peers. I graduated with no friends.
College, about the same. Class, work, home. No social stuff. I still couldn't really have chit chatty conversations with people. Girls made me nervous. I also formed a serious fear of public speaking. I was fearful of getting up in front of the class and giving a presentation that flowed well without being able to read off a sheet of paper.
I graduated college with no lasting friendships. I spend 90% of my free time alone. I'm content with that most of the time, maybe because it's what I'm used to. I want to branch out and form relationships, though, because I feel like I'm not getting what I should be out of life. If I try, it's usually awkward and uncomfortable, and I flee from the situation. So I find myself being very avoidant of social situations for fear of being confronted with another awkward interaction.
I have a good job in the IT field. I've been commended for good customer service skills, mainly for my politeness and thoroughness, although no one really enjoys chit chatting with me. Sometimes I stumble on words, have awkward phone interactions where I start talking when it's more the other person's turn to respond, and sometimes I start and end interactions abruptly.
I'm having a hard time figuring out if I'm alone and confused because I've had an undiagnosed social disorder from birth that still hinders me in my adulthood. Or, maybe the late talking and infant behavior was just random, and my upbringing is the reason for my social awkwardness. I'm wondering if my social development veered from a normal path (by my parents, insecurity about looks, video games, solitude, sibling rivalry) and went off on a tangent of what might be my own kind of pseudo-autism. If I read about it and take online surveys, it's scary how many of the autistic characteristics I match up with. It almost seems like it could explain some things. Am I the way I am because a social disorder makes me this way? Or have I just not been conditioned well enough to know any better, so I’m simply inexperienced? Maybe I"m just another shy dork?
And thanks to anyone who bothers to read my autobiography here = )
I have no problems with motor skills whatsoever. In fact, that's one of my strengths. I am good with my hands in delicate activities. I'm an avid pool player. I've played several musical instruments. I've flown radio control airplanes and real airplanes.
As far as repetitive movements? Na.
Verbal communication is my main weakness.

A Few QuestionsFree Online Games for kids
1.) Does anyone know some good FREE online games for kids? (Between 4-6 years old...or preschool to about 2nd grade level).
Both educational or not...
2.) I used to have a game/website that talked about feelings and how to handle situations for little kids. It was really good, but I lost it when I re-did our harddrive. It would give a situation (all read aloud so no reading for the kids), and then the kids get to pick out of 3 reactions. Like Yelling, talking about it (right decision), or not saying anything. And it would talk about the feelings behind the reactions and why one reactions was better than another...etc. My 5 yr old liked it. But I can't find it :(

Good free sites for preschool online activities and games
I found Starfall.com and my 4yo loves this site but she's pretty much done all the activities several times and will soon be bored with it. So, I'm looking for other sites with free educational activities for preschool age kids. There are way too many options when I do an online search and am looking for help narrowing down. Any suggestions?
