There are many ways to make
flashcards, and many uses for them
in all levels of education. A great
way to preserve and colour code
your flashcards is by using sleeves,
binders and boxes generally used
for gaming cards, like Pokémon or
Magic: The Gathering cards.
Card sleeves are small plastic sleeves that are clear plastic on
one side and can be clear or coloured on the other side,
sometimes even with pictures like the My Little Pony ones
below. Each of my flashcard sets are split into difficulty levels
by using different coloured sleeves.
Folders and binders are great to keep your flashcards in they're the perfect size because they are made specifically for
them. I keep all my maths cards in one folder and my
literacy cards in another. Once I have more cards it
would be great to group them in different coloured
folders by difficulty, subject or group as well.
Card boxes are great for activity cards or cards that
you want students to get out and use a lot. For
example, I have question cards and photo prompts
in card boxes as they are easy to get out and
use and the order they're in isn't a concern.
This box is great for maths as
you can put flashcards in the top
and counters in the bottom.
