| Summary: | Two years ago, ClickSchooling recommended FreeRice.com that allowed you to boost your vocabulary and help end world hunger. The idea was that for each word you got correct in an online vocabulary quiz, 10 grains of rice were donated through the United Nations World Food Program to help feed the hungry | ||
| Description: | Well, ClickScholar Cie suggested I visit the site again because in addition to testing your vocabulary, you can now test your Basic Math (Pre-Algebra) skills and Multiplication Tables and earn food for the hungry! Not only that, the site has expanded to include quizzes in all of the following subjects: *Art *Chemistry Symbols *English Grammar *Geography *Foreign Languages FreeRice automatically adjusts to your level of ability as you take the quiz. It starts by giving you math equations at different levels of difficulty and then, based on how you do, assigns you an approximate starting level. You then determine a more exact level for yourself as you play. When you get an math problem wrong, you go to an easier level. When you get three problems in a row right, you go to a harder level. This one-to-three ratio keeps you challenged to encourage learning. You can set your own level and you can even have the site remember your total from the last time you were there. And of course, with every right answer, you donate ten grains of rice through the UN World Food Program to help end hunger. This is made possible by the sponsors who advertise on this site. If you have more questions, check out the FAQs. This is a fun and ingenious idea that will motivate kids to practice math while helping others. |
