On one side of a pizza cardboard circle (poster board works also but not
as well), divide the area into a desired number of sections by dividing the
circle (across the diameter, like a pie).
In each section print the desired information or questions and then on
the back of each section write the corresponding answer.
On both sides of a clothespin, near the clip end, write the answers to
the information or questions.
Place the clothespins in a plastic bag and attach to the circle.
The students read the information or question, they select the
clothespin with the correct answer from the bag and clip it to the edge of
the circle near the corresponding question (a version of matching).
For a self check the student can flip over the cardboard and see if they
have put the correct answer (clothespin).
This can be placed at a center or for when students are "done" with all
their work. Students can also be the developers.
