# Matching

A [matching activity](/v1/docs/learner-interface-activities#matching-activities) requires learners to drag objects from one column to its matching object in another column.

Each matching activity can have one or more [*activity groups*](/v1/docs/adding-a-matching-activity#activity-group). An activity group provides a way to group related sets together. For example, you might want to create a matching activity that requires learners to match cities to their U.S. state or Canadian province. You could create one activity group for the U.S. cities, and another activity group for the Canadian cities.

Each activity group can have one or more [*matching sets*](/v1/docs/adding-a-matching-activity#matching-set). Matching sets are the pairs that belong together. Using our cities example from above, matching sets might include Baltimore and Maryland, San Francisco and California, or Denver and Colorado.
