What is a real-world connections generator?
A real-world connections generator shows students where a topic is used outside the classroom. In Edform, you type a topic or add a photo of a textbook page, and choose the grade and subject. You get 5–7 short, specific situations from everyday life, jobs, technology and further study, written for students of that age, with numbers where they help. Use them to open a unit, to answer the question on the spot or to add relevance to a lesson plan. Add more examples, make them simpler or shorter, or adapt them for younger or older students in one click, then print, copy or download the result as a Word file.
