QUESTION 1: PRE-NUMBER CONCEPTS
1. One-to-One Correspondence
One-to-one correspondence is the ability to match one object to one number or one set of objects
to another set. For example, when a child sets the table and places one plate in front of each chair,
they are engaging in one-to-one correspondence.
Contribution to Number Understanding: This concept helps children understand that numbers
represent quantities and that each object in a set can be counted. It forms the basis for counting,
addition, and subtraction, as the child learns that each object corresponds to a single number.
Role in Logical Thinking: One-to-one correspondence allows children to develop the ability to
recognize that numbers are symbols representing actual quantities. This logical thinking is essential
for more advanced mathematical operations like addition, subtraction, and multiplication.
