School Subjects Wheel
The school subjects wheel picks a subject at random, which suits revision rotations, mixed quizzes and any lesson that opens with a question from anywhere.
Ten subjects on the wheel, covering the core of most timetables. Edit it to match yours in about a minute.
Mixed quizzing is where it earns its place. A round where the subject changes unpredictably is harder and more useful than ten questions in a row from one topic, because students cannot settle into a single mode of thinking. Interleaving is one of the better-supported ideas in learning research, and a wheel is the least effortful way to do it.
It also handles the small scheduling questions that eat lesson time — which subject the starter comes from, which one the homework covers, which one the revision session opens with.
Students revising at home get more out of the study subject wheel, which is built around the tendency to revise whatever already feels comfortable. This one is aimed at whoever is running the room.
School Subjects Wheel — questions
Why mix subjects rather than doing one at a time?
Because interleaving — switching between topics rather than blocking them — produces better retention than long runs on a single subject. It feels harder while you do it, which is part of why it works.
Can I match it to my timetable?
Yes. Replace the slices with your actual subjects, including the ones specific to your school. Your edit stays in the browser, so the wheel is ready next lesson.
How is this different from the study subject wheel?
This one is for whoever is running the room — quizzes, starters, rotations. The study subject wheel is built for a student revising alone, where the problem is avoiding the hard subject.
