A Match question asks students to pair items from two columns. Terms with definitions, dates with events, equations with solutions, that kind of thing.
Adding one
Type /match or pick Match from the + menu.
Setting up the pairs
The block opens with two columns. Type a prompt in the left column and the matching answer in the right column. Use the + Add row button at the bottom to keep adding pairs.
A few rules of thumb:
Keep entries short. Long sentences are hard to drag.
Stick to one matching style per question. Don't mix "term to definition" with "year to event" in the same block.
Three to six pairs works well. More than that, and students lose track.
How students see it
The right column shuffles when students open the lesson. They drag each right-side item next to its match, or tap on touchscreen.
When you preview the lesson as an educator, the right column shuffles for you too, so you can sense-check it.
Marking
Match questions auto-mark. Each correct pairing earns one mark by default. Set the total marks for the question in the right-hand drawer if you want it weighted differently.
In your Insights, the Block Detail Drawer shows you which pairings the class is getting wrong most often. That's the place to look if you're trying to spot a misconception.
Question prompt
The prompt above the columns supports rich text and inline maths, so feel free to drop in an equation or a bold key term. See "Writing question prompts with rich text and math".
