Subject: Large numbers and technology

I am planning a unit for 5th grade gifted students involving large numbers, and 
would like to integrate technology.  I am vaguely familiar with the program 
Mathematica, but it seems to be too sophisticated for my students. My question is 
this: Is there a program designed for younger students which would enhance our 
exploration of large numbers, exponential growth vs. linear growth, graphing 
equations, scientific notation, and manipulating statistical information so that 
it becomes more meaningful?
