The Matching Activities library includes varied activity formats, allowing the same topic to be revisited through matching, tracing, counting, coloring, cut-and-paste work and other hands-on tasks. Frequently represented themes include Match Item, Matching Pairs, Visual Discrimination, All and Part To Whole Matching.
