Foundational math skills are an important part of developing the minds of young learners. Matching is one of the most basic math concepts we teach in the toddler room, but a very important one! Matching, which usually involves one-to-one correspondence, can help a child to better understand that different items can still share characteristics, such as size, color, or shape.
