The students are not allowed to loiter in the hall before the tardy bell rings; they must enter the classroom. I need "fun" math worksheets or quick problems I can put on the board.

I am not finding much without actually buying a book. Here are some suggestions:
Put a couple problems on the overhead (just for something different).
If you have access to powerpoint, make a few slides and them have it go as a continuous loop. As the kids come in they start on the work. It is different; grabs the attention more.
Look for tips in the teachers manual that go with each chapter. Put little activities on the board that are using the current subjects.
You can pick up books at local groceries that have number problems. They are challenging, but help with understanding how numbers work.
A lot of kids really like Soduko. While it is logic, this can aid in their math reasoning.
