This is a learning technique in which students familiarize themselves with a new subject based on a set of concepts, practice their knowledge for an exam, or establish connections between the concepts. This teaching method is an extended version of "mixed up piles," hence the name "extended mixed piles." In pairs or groups of three, students take turns selecting a card and indicate which of the three columns it belongs to. They then explain their choice to each other.

Extended mixed piles can be used for every subject. Whether it's in physics, where students categorize a set of cards about electricity, or in a modern foreign language class, where students have to match translated sentences or words to the foreign language. It can also be used for a subject like history, as shown in the example.

As mentioned above, this teaching method can be used in all stages of the lesson, and you can also apply it during an exam, with or without an additional open question.
