Flipsnack is a website that allows users to make flip books online of whatever you want! All you need is a few pictures (JPEG or PDF) and you can make your own flip book. To use this website for math, write a problem on a piece of paper and take a picture of each successive step you do. Upload these images in order, with the problem first and the answer last and in the end, you will have a flip book of your math problem. The website is free and you DO NOT need to register for an account to use this online program.
Gizmos is an online educational opportunity that allows students to visualize mathematical concepts. There are gizmos for many different areas of mathematics, including solving linear equations, three-dimensional figures, and perimeter, area, and volume. You can search through the website by typing in the search bar, browsing through the grades and topics provided, or searching for your textbook. There are downloadable worksheets available for extra practice, visual displays for working through special problems, and tutorials to help you understand how to work through some problem types.

Pixton is an online comic strip creator that allows users with a basic understanding of how to use a computer to make fun comics. The setup is very user friendly with choices for either beginners or advanced users. You can also use the drag and drop options to make it even easier. Users can either create a cartoon strip without an account or register for a monthly subscription account and save their creations online. Great benefits of cartoon strips in math are allowing students to give a play-by-play of how to attempt a problem, showing students what typical mistakes are for a problem type, or just for FUN!
Popplet is an online website that creates graphic organizers out of text, images, and writing. Popplet is FREE to use or you can make an account to save your work. If you use this website and don’t have an account, I would recommend printing all of your organizers. These organizers can be used to show how materials are connected together, to show chronological orders for problem solving, or vocabulary terms’ connections. The drag and drop user friendly operations have a short tutorial at the beginning of use and can be easily utilized by both beginning and advanced computer users.

Geogebra is an online (or downloadable) interactive math software that helps users understand geometry, algebra, spreadsheets, graphing, statistics, and calculus. It is the easiest math software for users who have a basic knowledge of how to use a computer. Geogebra allows users to graph multiple lines on a coordinate graph, draw shapes, and calculate basic mathematical expressions. Geogebra can be used and downloaded on multiple interfaces, including MAC OS, Windows, Chrome App, and Linux as well as many phone and tablet operating systems. In order to use Geogebra, students must either use the online version or download it onto their computer, tablet, or smartphone.
Quizlet is an easy to use online interactive that allows students to make sets of flash cards. These flash cards can be shared in a group setting (I will make a “class” for you to be able to share in.), emailed to someone, or just used temporarily. Quizlet can be used online on a computer or in a mobile app on a smartphone. To use Quizlet, you must register for a FREE account on their website. In mathematics, you can use Quizlet by typing in a problem (word problem, equation, etc.) and then type in the first step, a picture of a graph, or maybe a picture of the entire problem written out.
The National Library of Virtual Manipulatives (also known as NLVM) is a website that has interactive tutorials for students to visualize mathematical concepts. This website has examples of multiplying binomials and trinomials, the Pythagorean Theorem, and tangrams. The amazing thing about this website is that you are able to manipulate blocks and other physical objects even if you do not have them at your disposal. You can use this website if you are using a Windows or a MAC computer; however, you do need to have the latest version of JAVA and Google Chrome does not work well with this website.
