US Presidents Quiz
A free quiz on the presidents of the United States, in order. “Who was number…?” asks for the president at a given number, “Put in order” asks which of four presidents served first, and “Name them all” fills a numbered board as you type each name.
There have been 47 presidencies but 45 different people: Grover Cleveland (22nd and 24th) and Donald Trump (45th and 47th) each served two non-consecutive terms.
How to use it in class
