Hello, Smarty Pants. Welcome to Trusty Trivia Thursday. Today, we're putting history on ice as we talk about ice ages. Before we begin the trivia, a big shout out to Adrian in San Francisco, California. We hear you listen to Who Smarted all day long. As my friend, the whoa girl, would say, whoa. Thanks for smarting with us, Smarty Pants. And now, let's chill with some ice age facts. First question.

Did you say B? You are as cool as ice. Next question.

Was it A, the T-Rex, B, the woolly mammoth, or C, the giant ice cream cone monster? Did you go with B? Mammoth job, smarty pants. Woolly mammoths were like today's elephants, but covered in thick fur to survive the cold. Last question. How thick were ice age glaciers? Were they A, 100 feet, B, 1,000 feet, or C, over two miles? Did you choose C? Frost-tastic.

Some glaciers were over two miles so big that they changed the shape of continents. Way to break the ice, smarty pants. Join us next week for more brain-freezing fun. Oh, and if you want to learn more about the Ice Ages, check out our Ice Ages episode in the Who Smarted archives. Keep on smarting, keep on having fun.

Hey parents, Trusty here with something really smart for your smarty pants. I've got nieces, nephews, and close family friends, some homeschooled, some traditional school, and lately there's one tool they all seem to be using, iXL.

One of my nephews was really struggling with reading comprehension. His parents tried IXL, and within a couple of weeks, he was not only keeping up, he was excited to read. Then my niece, who's super into math, started exploring topics way beyond her grade level. That's the beauty of IXL. It's flexible. Kids can move at their own pace in any subject across any grade.

A friend's daughter loves the instant feedback and little rewards. It's fun, not stressful. And the parents, they love how easy it is to find the exact topic they're covering that week.

iXcel is organized, saves them time, and actually helps the kids feel more confident. If you're homeschooling or just want to supplement what your child is learning in traditional school, iXcel is a game changer. Get 20% off at iXcel.com slash smarted with the code smarted.
