Matching Pairs — Reference Map Variant

What it does

• Two-column matching layout — facts on one side, paired facts on the other; learners click or drag to connect each pair
• Reference-table styling — clean rows, clear column headers, and confident typography make the activity feel like an authoritative table
• Instant correctness feedback — correct matches lock in with confirmation; wrong matches release so the learner can try again
• Optional shuffle on load — pair order shuffles each time so retries feel fresh
• Progress counter — shows how many pairs remain
• Completion state — celebrates when every pair is correctly matched

Best use cases

• Geography — match countries to capitals, regions to languages, or landmarks to places
• History — pair events with dates or figures with eras
• Language learning — match words with translations or grammar terms with examples
• Medical and legal training — pair codes, abbreviations, or terms with their meanings
• Test prep — match concepts with definitions or formulas with names

What you can change with your DNA

When you run this through the remix skill, your CCOS DNA — brand, voice, audience — drives these decisions automatically:

• Colors — slots for page background, column backgrounds, item color, accent color, and feedback states
• Fonts — two roles: a confident serif or sans for headings, and a clean body font for items
• Copy — the prompt, column headers, left items, right items, completion message
• Images — optional flag, icon, or symbol on either column
• Behavior — choose click-to-pair vs. draw-a-line, whether items shuffle, and strict vs. forgiving feedback
