Question: I need to find 6th grade algebra games or instruction for a 11 yr old. Can you help?

My 11 yr old boy is in the 6th grade. He's been sick this week and is falling behind as the class moves into algebra. They're working on balancing equations.

I'd like some input as to where I can find online Math Games or instruction that deals with the basic concepts. Everything I've found through my searches deals with advanced, high school algebra.

Any suggestion? It needs to be the basics. Thanks.
