This program provides a very innovative and effective approach to learning. The concept is that the parent, teacher or individual offers a prize for a timed success. For example, in Math for Prizes, the parent could provide a chocolate milkshake if the child answers 100 random 12 times table problems in less than 5 minutes. Another example might be State Capitals for Prizes where the student must answer 50 random multiple choice questions matching States to their Capitals, or Capitals to their States in 4 minutes. Once an appropriate prize and challenge is created, the child will spend hours working on learning the information to earn the prize. Also with Learning Spokes, you or your child or student can use the applications set up by local Boards of Education or schools, that exactly match their local curriculum.

Finally, there are four templates available for different answer formats so you can create your own applications using the information you enter. This tool can be very self-motivating, with a lot less nagging, if done correctly. MathForPrizes in as excellent example of a self-motivating program that will teach your children and students their times tables and a lot more. Students under the age of 16 can also compete for prizes that have been entered into CitySpokes by local businesses to support the youth in the community, and to also generate local traffic into a store. These might include ice cream, pizza, miniature golf, or whatever.
