The Quizlet story
It all started with flashcards and a highly motivated student. In
2005, Andrew Sutherland was preparing for an exam that
required him to learn the names of more than 100 animals... in
French. To help himself learn, he decided to use his self-taught
coding skills to create a digital version of 3x5 index cards to
study with. His digital approach to flashcards helped him ace
the test and soon Andrew and his classmates were finding
success recalling and practicing conversational French using
these little quizzes, or Quizlets. The creation of Quizlet and its
earliest days were all about teaching yourself something new
and helping others learn.
2005
2010
Fifteen years later, these are core components of Quizlet’s
company values and remain a strong and consistent guide as
the product continues to evolve for teachers and students.
Today, more than 60 million learners and more than 2 million
teachers trust Quizlet each month to help them teach
something new and help others learn. As a teacher using
Quizlet, you can engage students and drive outcomes in any
context with the content you need to make your best days in
the classroom a reality. It’s easy (and free!) to get started.

What is Quizlet?
Quizlet allows you to create sets of content and
repurpose content other teachers have created.
You can use these sets for engaging in-class
activities and to support students as they become
self-directed learners at home. Cover the right
learning material for your classes on any subject
and topic
Quizlet is an efficient and effective tool for my
students to study Algebra 1 and Geometry
through the study sets I have created for them!
