    Top View Matching Generator

    Generate printable top-view matching tasks with simple geometric scenes. Learners compare the side view with the correct view from above using object shape, color and position.

    Example

    A generated instance. Parameters such as difficulty, size, and symbol set are adjustable.

    Task focus

    Each task format is associated with these cognitive categories:

    attention

    Ability to focus on relevant information and filter out distracting stimuli. Includes sustained, selective, and switching attention.

    visual perception

    Processing of visual information: recognition of shapes, colors, spatial relations, objects, and faces.

    spatial cognition

    Understanding and manipulation of spatial relations, orientation, mental rotation of objects.

    Evidence-informed format

    Matching side views to top views trains spatial transformation: the learner must infer the same object layout from another viewpoint.

    How to use it

    1. 1Open the exercise and adjust the difficulty to the student's current level — usually it is better to start slightly easier than feels right.
    2. 2Read the rules. They are short, usually 10–20 seconds.
    3. 3Use the generated task as structured educational material, with accuracy and clarity prioritized over speed.
    4. 4Compare the answer with the reference and leave a human-written comment if the task is assigned through the student cabinet.

    Who it's for

    • Educators and tutors — as material for lessons, review, and home practice.
    • Speech, special-education, and development specialists — for children and adults; parameters adjust to the student's level.
    • Parents — to receive clear assignments and leave comments about completion.
