Formulator Tarsia is a free download - it is designed for Maths, but can be adapted for many subjects. It allows you to quickly produce a variety of different 'jigsaws', which can be used as starters, or to reinforce definitions, etc. You can even upload small graphics files. The network managers have kindly put it onto the school network - it is currently available on the computers in the staff workroom and B29, or you can download it yourself at home.
This is what a completed 'solution' to a jigsaw looks like:
These are the options available:
The variety allows you to adapt to the ability of the group - for really weak students you can give them the middle six of a hexagon.
I photocopy the output onto card, which I then cut into the triangles, squares, etc, and keep in a (labelled) envelope.
