Matching Single Cards

Matching Single Cards

Matching formats teach students to attend to the parts in a sequence. A few beginning lessons on matching formats prepare students to use matching skills to solve problems independently. An auditory signal is used for matching exercises. 

The process is:

• The teacher says, ‘look at my card’ and checks that students are looking at the card.
• The teacher says, ‘you have a card that looks like my card; when I when tap, hold up the card that looks just like my card’ and signals (auditory).
• The teacher says, ‘Let’s check to see if everybody is holding up a card that looks just like my card’ and holds their card above each student’s card.
• If the cards are identical the teacher says, ‘Your card looks just like my card, good!’
