Five terms. Five definitions. Match them.
Every key term from the course lessons, five at a time. Pick a term, then the definition it belongs to. Misses come back in your next round until you get them on the first try.

Matching is a warm-up for recall, not a substitute for it. When a set feels easy, cover the definitions in the glossary and say each one before you look.
How a round works
Choose where the terms come from: all six domains, one domain, or, when you arrive from a lesson, that lesson's own key terms. The tool deals five terms on one side and their five definitions, shuffled, on the other. Pick a term, then the definition you think belongs to it. A correct pair locks in. A wrong pair counts as a miss for that term, and you try again. When all five are matched, the round summary shows how many you got on the first try and lists each term you missed with its definition and the lesson that teaches it.
Misses do not disappear. Every term you missed comes back in your next round, and it keeps coming back until you match it on the first try. That is the point of the tool: it spends your time on the terms you do not know yet instead of the ones you already do. The counter at the top shows your first-try matches for today.
How to get more out of it
- Before you touch the screen, look at each term and say its definition out loud. Then match. Producing the answer first turns a recognition game into recall practice.
- Use a domain set the week your study plan covers that domain, and a lesson set right after you finish a lesson.
- Five minutes is enough. A few rounds before a flashcard session or a practice set warms up the vocabulary the items will use.
- When a set stops producing misses, move on to the flashcards or a practice set in that domain. Matching tells you that you recognize a term; only recall and application tell you that you know it.
A worked example. After the family systems lesson, a round might deal differentiation of self, triangulation, homeostasis and two more terms from the same lesson. Say you pair triangulation with the definition that belongs to differentiation of self. That pair is marked as a miss, the round goes on, and triangulation appears again next round. Before that round starts, open the glossary entry, read it once, and say it back without looking.
