Online Math Quiz
Get a random, 64 question addition/subtraction test on every view!
The inputs take only numbers and auto-tab to make it easy on young users, and answers are checked (and locked in) instantly. At the end, the correct/incorrect count and time are displayed. Tests can also be printed (click off of the first box to hide the cursor).
This originally began (way back... last night) as just a practice sheet generator to help my daughter with her timed math tests, to avoid the numerous shady or inadequate "resources" online.
However, that being a little too easy (and the results a little too school-like), I decided to make it interactive.
The problems are mostly random, only controlled so that a larger number is never subtracted from a smaller one (and therefore, you may see the same problem twice in a row).
There is plenty more I could do, but this meets our needs for now, and I didn't expect anyone other than myself to use it (I'm making this first projects post at the suggestion of a couple of #bunnies).
If there is interest, I'd be happy to share the (kinda ugly) PHP/jQuery source, add features or maybe put it up on a real host. I haven't tested it in every browser, but it is great in Chrome and at least functional in IE8.

My only suggestion? Make some way of telling the right from wrong aside from color coding. My red-green colorblind eyes can't tell them apart...

I only missed 1, but it said I got "-2 incorrect" at the end. Also, if I choose to check my answers, it's not obvious how to get back to the test results/stats. Is that even an option?
