Writing challenging lesson objectives & matching activities

Suggested activities to match lesson objectives
Advice for creating Learning Objectives
• Have a maximum of 2 or 3 learning objectives per lesson
• Always have single objectives (avoid mixing eg. Describe and explain)
• Use words that allows you and the pupil to assess if the intended learning has taken place by the end of the lesson
• Be specific as possible – use the trigger words (list, explain, create…) to share with pupils exactly the nature and level of the learning intended
• Avoid general phrases such as ‘to know’ and ‘to be able to understand’
For all subjects
Photocopy onto cardboard and cut into triangles. Place triangle pieces into envelopes. In pairs or threes ask students to match up the sides of the triangles using the clues. Which group can solve the puzzle the quickest?
