Timeline Jigsaw Pieces
Lesson #11013

Concept:

An interactive way of teaching pupils about different periods in history and the historical timeline. Pupils are presented with a set of jigsaw pieces, made using the jigsaw die-cut. There are three pieces in each set – one piece with a pictorial representation of the period, one piece with the dates on and one piece with the period name. The sets can then be put together to form one long timeline, an excellent display resource made by the pupils!

Objective:

To sequence periods of history on a timeline.

Curriculum: History
