"The essence of mathematics is not to make simple things complicated, but to make complicated things simple." -S. Gudder

Math Live was created by Learn Alberta to help teach math lessons with animated stories. There are four different categories, number, patterns and relations, shape and space, statistics and possibility.The characters sometimes use manipulatives to solve their problem so you can have your students work along with the characters with their own manipulatives. This would be a great way to introduce a lesson or for the explore stage of a lesson. There are pauses in the lessons so you can stop and discuss or just pick and choose what you would use. These are great clear visuals and they are explained simply, introducing and explaining the terms that students need to know. The only place of concern for me is that distances are in the metric measurements not in feet, yards, etc. Otherwise I really like this site and the resources it offers.
