Need a quick word definition, a date in history, or a math formula? It's in here! This site from the publishers of Information Please and Pearson Education offers a dictionary, an atlas, and an encyclopedia all in one -- plus a lot more. There are some fresh features every day, such as a new quiz to try (monuments or landmarks) or a poll (thoughts about Harry Potter) to take.
Is it any good?
Where else will you find timelines on so many topics, from a history of Crayola crayon colors to a history of the Internet? Browse through the more than 30,000 short biographies or head on over to the Homework Helper section for an educational boost. State nicknames? They're on the fun-to-use FACTMONSTER.COM, as well as information on flags of the world, countries, oceans, and rivers. And, when it's time for recess, you can play some educational math and language games.
Nuts and bolts
