Draw it, name it
Kids draw a line, a ray and a segment, then label them with arrows and dots. "Does it go on forever? Which way?" Making the drawing themselves helps kids remember which one has arrows on both ends.
Why it works: pairing a picture with each word gives kids two ways to remember it, a well-tested principle of how people learn (Mayer, 2009).
