Christian Beliefs - Revision Tarsia

Christian Beliefs - Revision Tarsia

(0)
This Tarsia puzzle covers the topic of the Christian Beliefs. This puzzle was planned for the AQA spec for Religious Studies but can be used for other exam boards. Great for 9-1 GCSE revision and intervention sessions. A Tarsia puzzle requires students to match up sides of triangles to form a hexagonal shape. They are brilliant for revision and get students to think hard. I use these at the starts of ends of lessons and they can take 10-20 minutes depending on your class’s confidence in the material. All materials are provided here including student instructions, student puzzle pieces and teacher answers. All images have been acquired through a search engine filtered to labelled for re-use. Enjoy!
