Matching Cards Game in PreK
A quick matching cards game with dot cards is a fun way for preschoolers to practice recognizing small sets without counting—a key skill for building visual number sense.
Why is this important?
Matching card games can be played with the cards face up. That reduces the cognitive load of remembering where the cards are spatially and puts the emphasis on quick recognition of small sets (subitizing).
