Linva
Get started

For teachers in primary and lower secondary school

From idea to a lesson that engages your class.

Describe your topic and your class. Linva helps you with a draft lesson that you can adapt and use with your students.

Plan an activitySee an example

Students only see what you choose to show on the board. Your notes stay on your own screen.

An example of the class board

This is how a task can look when you show it to your class. You choose what goes on the board and when the answer is shown.

Symmetry around us · Maths · Grade 4

Example activity

Where can you draw a line of symmetry?

Talk to your partner and explain your choice.

You decide when the class sees the answer.

How it works

You describe, Linva makes a draft, and you decide the rest.

  1. 1

    Describe your lesson

    Write the topic, the grade and the time you have. Linva only asks about what is missing.

  2. 2

    Adapt it to your class

    Go through the draft and adjust steps, tasks, questions and your teacher notes to suit your pupils.

  3. 3

    Use it in your lesson

    Show selected content on the board while your notes stay with you. Print worksheets and role cards when the activity needs them.

Ideas for your teaching

Topics from different subjects and grades that you can start from when you describe your lesson. You adapt the level and content to your class.

  • Danish, Grades 2–3

    Build a story together

    Pupils invent a story together: Who is the main character, what goes wrong, and how does it end?

  • Maths, Grade 4

    Find the symmetry

    Pupils look for lines of symmetry in shapes and around the classroom and draw the other half on squared paper.

    Pupils predict what happens to water when the sun warms it and explain the cycle in their own words and a drawing.

    Everyday conversations

    Pupils practise short conversations in pairs, such as ordering food or asking the way, with role cards and useful phrases.

  • History, Grades 7–9

    Make choices in a historical situation

    Pupils step into the decision-makers' shoes, choose between the options and discuss the consequences afterwards.

  • Social studies, Grades 8–9

    Examine a news story's sources

    Pupils examine who is behind a news story, which sources it is based on and how it is framed.
