Visual Thesaurus

A perfect tool for your non-linear thinkers! Put in your word and see how the synonyms connect. The website allows you to make a few searches before your "trial" is over. However, you can revisit the website multiple times for additional searches.

National Library of Vitural Manipulatives

This website is packed with math activities that allow students to explore math concepts in numbers & operations, algebra, geometry, measurement, and data analysis & probability.

This site is also available in Spanish.
