Caleb is doing well with reading, but struggles a bit with math. We've decided to spend these last two weeks of summer really working on addition. While I know math is a lot more involved than addition, I think it's a good start.
The website is:

There are several games to choose from, but our favorites are "Color Your Vacation" (where you get to color after you unlock all of the paint colors) and "Farmer Fred's Pumpkin Patch" (we are excited for Autumn). As you can see above Caleb has a handful of two-color counters that were given to me at a math training. I think you could use most anything that is small that you have a bunch of though (pasta, pennies, marshmallows). I think at 5 years old he needs to be as hands on as possible. Today he discovered on his own the rule for adding zero and how to quickly add one. Him figuring that out on his own was way better than me teaching him.
There are additional math skills/games that you can find depending on what your child needs on the main website at:
