I love how little people can just come up with their "own" work of matching. The other day one of the little guys I watch a few days a week decided that he wanted to get out the Sandpaper numbers (which he has done before) and work with them. He then got out the "number sticks" as I call them (one of my thrift store finds). These two items had never been presented together. And actually the "number sticks" had never been presented at all, however, they are on the shelf next to the Sandpaper numbers.
These "number sticks" have a numeral on one side and the number of dots on the other side, each one is incrementally longer than the one before.
So, O got both items out and put them on the rug and began working. His first order of business was to put the numbers in order. He then used the "number sticks" and matched them with the correct number, starting at number one and working his way up, very systematically.
