Matching activities with cards is not new. After sorting the cards, students can then PLAY GAMES like Statistical Rummy or Snap or use them as flash cards to study together. I have a hunch that PLAYING with them will help the knowledge to be retained.
Ideas for using them: (Lesson Plan).
- Tables are set out in groups of 4.
- A set of cards is given to each group.
- Instruction: Can you organize the cards? Sort them into some sort of logical arrangement?
- Stuck?
- Have you looked at the cards?
- Have you read the cards?
- Have you looked at what the other groups are doing?
- Is the answer on another card?
- Do you need to google it?
- Stuck?
- Cards sorted?
- Think about playing SNAP - decide which cards could be SNAPPED and which could not be SNAPPED.
- Play SNAP
- Think about playing RUMMY - decide which cards could be called GROUPS or SETS - How many SETS could one card belong two?
- Play RUMMY
- Think about playing SNAP - decide which cards could be SNAPPED and which could not be SNAPPED.
- Study ideas.
- Use the cards in creative ways to study together.

StatisticsCard4.pdfThese cards could be used by giving students one card each. The Vocab Card holders could be the leaders of their group. Students then try to find their group. The Question Holders and Answer Holders try to find each other. I think this could be a whole lot of fun.
