How to Use the Presidents List
1. Learn them in blocks of five, not all 47 at once
The usual classroom drill is five at a time — Washington through Monroe, then Adams through Van Buren, and so on. Cover the Years column with a strip of paper and read the names down the page; cover the Name column and try to fill it in from the numbers. The two-column layout keeps 1–24 on the left and 25–47 on the right, so one half can be folded back while the other is being quizzed.
2. Read the eras off the party column
The party column is a timeline of American politics on its own. The Federalists and Democratic-Republicans hold the first six slots, the Whigs appear only between 1841 and 1853, and every president from Lincoln onward has been a Republican or a Democrat. Asking a child which parties have disappeared is a faster history lesson than a paragraph about it.
3. Pair it with a map
Presidents and geography are usually taught in the same unit. Print this chart alongside the US states and capitals list and have students mark which state each president was born in, or find the states that joined the Union during a given presidency — Alaska and Hawaii both under Eisenhower, for example.

FAQ
How many US presidents have there been?
There have been 47 presidencies but 45 different people. Grover Cleveland (22nd and 24th) and Donald Trump (45th and 47th) each served two terms that were not back to back, so each one is counted twice in the numbering.
Who was the first US president?
George Washington, who served from 1789 to 1797. He is the only president who belonged to no political party — the Electoral College chose him unanimously in both 1789 and 1792.
Which president served the longest, and which the shortest?
Franklin D. Roosevelt served the longest: elected four times, he was in office from March 1933 until his death in April 1945. The 22nd Amendment, ratified in 1951, later limited presidents to two elected terms. William Henry Harrison served the shortest — 31 days in 1841 before he died of illness.
Which presidents died in office?
Eight. Four were assassinated: Abraham Lincoln (1865), James A. Garfield (1881), William McKinley (1901) and John F. Kennedy (1963). Four died of natural causes: William Henry Harrison (1841), Zachary Taylor (1850), Warren G. Harding (1923) and Franklin D. Roosevelt (1945). Richard Nixon is the only president to resign, in 1974.
Why does the same name appear with two different numbers?
The numbering counts presidencies, not people. When a president leaves office and later returns after someone else has served, the second stint gets a new number. That has happened twice — Grover Cleveland and Donald Trump.
