Number matching

Number matching is when we find things that are the same as each other.

Think of it like finding two puzzle pieces that fit together perfectly.

For example, if we see the number 1 on one puzzle piece and the same number 1 on another puzzle piece, we can match them and put them together.

We can also match numbers based on how many objects are there. For instance, if we see two apples and the number 2 written next to them, we know that the number 2 is the same as two apples.

Number matching helps us understand how many things there are and teaches us how to count and keep track of numbers.
