Follow these steps On your topic page, next to the 'Activity 1', please type double open rectangular bracket "[[", followed by page name, followed by space, followed by concept name, followed by space, followed by 'activity1', followed by double close rectangular bracket "]]" eg, if page name is microorganisms and concept name is introduction, then to create the page for the first activity of this concept, please type [[microorganisms introduction activity1]]

To add template:

Once a page has been created, the content template must be added. The syntax is as follows:
{{subst:Math-Content}}
