10+ Creative Ways to Teach One-to-One Correspondence

Shared by Mary Catherine 3 Comments

I loved seeing all of the one-to-one correspondence activities linked up at the past two Share It Saturdays! Each of the activities were meaningful and playful ways to teach an important math concept to the kiddos. I hope you find them as inspiring as I did!

what is one-to-one correspondence?

In a nutshell, one-to-one correspondence means matching one item to one corresponding item (or number). This can mean placing one toy bear on top of one colorful spool. It can mean putting one ball in one bucket. It can also mean placing five beans on the number 5. Keep in mind, while this is an important math skill, it’s also important in literacy too. For example, pointing to one word as you say one word.

Check out some of the inventive and engaging activities below for even more ideas!
