4 Simple H5P Interactives to Try This School Year
Kick off the school year with these easy-to-implement tools.
It’s almost September, which means teachers and administrators are getting ready for another school year. There are lessons to prepare, meetings to attend, and classrooms to set up.
When it comes to content creation, H5P is here to lend a hand. The H5P interactives, available in Creator+, are perfectly suited to young learners. They encourage engagement, gamification, and critical thinking.
Here are a few that you can try out this September.
For math review … try Arithmetic Quiz
Typically, the school year starts with review. This helps teachers set a baseline for fundamental skills.
The H5P Arithmetic Quiz is a simple method for assessing math skills. Instructors can select from different types of math, from basic operations to more complex linear equations. The question set is automatically generated, making this a quick tool to deploy.
Here’s an example of a basic Arithmetic Quiz:
For fractions and graphs … try Charts
The H5P Chart interactive is a great introduction to fractions and graphing. It offers a simple bar graph and pie chart that helps visualize statistics.
Here’s an example of a simple pie chart on fruit preferences:
For language homework … try Dictation
For students learning a second language, the Dictation interactive is a useful resource. Teachers can record their own audio and ask learners to transcribe what they hear. This makes for a good homework assignment that helps build confidence in language learning.
Here’s an example of Dictation:
For social sciences and more … try Crossword
A Crossword is a fun surprise. It is an adaptable interactive that can be applied to almost any subject, but it’s particularly suited for language-based learning. The puzzle is automatically generated; all teachers need to do is supply the questions and answers.
Here’s an example of a H5P Crossword. Try it out and see how you do!
Conclusion
These four interactives are easy to implement and can help establish foundational knowledge at the start of the school year. If you’re feeling more ambitious, you could try building out a Game Map, Branching Scenario, or Interactive Video. The possibilities are endless!
