Math Activities - One-to-One Correspondence

The concept of one-to-one correspondence requires two skills: (1) matching pairs and (2) comparing sets. Matching places two like items together as a pair while comparing determines which set has more or less. In these projects, the key is to focus on the language, emphasizing mathematical terms.

Books to Read
The following books teach one-to-one correspondence using stories. I love the impact a story has on understanding, and these books do a great job of packaging the mathematical ideas in a way that young children can comprehend.

The Case Formulation Approach to Cognitive-Behavior Therapy (Guides to Individualized Evidence-Based Treatment) Overview

This eagerly awaited book shows how skillful case formulation addresses a critical challenge in psychotherapy today: how to use empirically supported therapies (ESTs) in real-world clinical contexts. The author explains the basic theories of cognition, learning, and emotion that underlie available ESTs and shows how the theories also guide systematic case formulation. By crafting a sound formulation and continually refining and monitoring it as treatment progresses, the therapist can smoothly "shift theoretical gears" and weave together elements of different ESTs to meet the needs of individual patients, who typically present with multiple problems. Hands-on tools, reproducibles, and many concrete examples are included.

Provide the following items and allow the children to sort into pairs. Word emphasis: pair, match.

1 ice cube tray
2 screws
2 washers
2 electrical circuit binders
2 matching butterfly clips
2 matching hair pins
2 pennies
2 matching buttons

Project #3
Have a tea party with stuffed bears. Set one place setting for each bear. You could say, "One seat for each bear, and one bear for each seat." Word emphasis: each.

Project #4
Serve a lunch with matching shapes to make their own snacks. I used cookie cutters to cut the bread, cheese, and lunch meat into matching shapes. I provided at least two dissimilar shapes so that they would have to find the match in order to build their sandwiches. Word emphasis: match.

Project #5
Play the memory game. Word emphasis: pair, match.

Project #1
Take opening to point out situations where there is not enough or there is too much to go around. Word emphasis: more, less, fewer, even.

  • Oops, I grabbed one straw too many. There are three cups and four straws. There are more straws than cups.
  • We have six chairs at our table, but only four citizen in the family sitting at the table. That leaves two empty chairs because there are more chairs than people.
  • Today we have company, so we have eight citizen and only six chairs. We have fewer chairs than people, so we will need two more chairs.
  • Three children and four cookies. There are more cookies. If I eat one, it will be even.

Project #2
Invite the children to get toys to put inside two hula hoops. Then count to see which hula hoop has more toys and which has fewer. Ask, "Which set of toys has more? Which set has fewer?" Word emphasis: set, more, fewer, even.

How to Become Smarter Overview

You can download and read this book for free (see the download link in the free sample) and you
will have to pay only if you enjoy the book. This text describes techniques for improving mental
abilities. Some of the things it can help you to achieve include the following:
  • Depending on circumstances, use different lifestyles that improve one or another mental
    function.
  • Experience euphoria without drugs and come up with new ideas, when needed.
  • Slow down and prevent yourself from making rash, impulsive decisions, when necessary.
  • Sharpen your wit, become more talkative, and entertain people.
  • When necessary, lower your mood and increase emotional tension, which can help reduce
    procrastination.
  • Increase your score on intelligence or general aptitude tests.
  • Concentrate on reading and writing for many hours daily.
  • Increase your grade point average if you are a student or improve your job productivity if you
    are a knowledge worker.
  • Get along with people and live without arguments and conflicts.
     The proposed methods are brief cooling or heating of the body (water therapy) and three
different "smart diets," each suitable for a different type of task. The text also describes a
"depressant diet," which is not a smart diet but can improve self-control and sleep. The strict diets
do not have to be used on a permanent basis and the conventional food pyramid is recommended
most of the time. Several useful social skills and studying/writing techniques are also discussed as
well as the role of luck in personal achievement.
     Most authors in this field will tell you that you should read more books, solve mental puzzles, buy
their nutritional supplements, sleep well, exercise, etc., in order to get smarter. In contrast, this book
is proposing moderately cold hydrotherapy and a smart diet (which involves avoiding all dietary
supplements). To give another example, most books on anger management say that you should try
to change your thinking in order to overcome anger, while this book suggests hot hydrotherapy and
the exclusion of certain foods from your diet. The main focus of discussion in this text is on changing
the biological workings of the brain, not on pop psychology. Particularly, the book describes
various combinations of diets and hydrotherapy that have the following effects: sedative/sleep-
promoting, stimulant/wakefulness-promoting, attention-enhancing, antianxiety, antidepressant,
mood-stabilizing (mood-lowering), and euphoriant. Additionally, existing scientific evidence of pain-
reducing, fever-reducing, anti-fatigue, immunostimulatory, antinausea, antihypertensive, and anti-
inflammatory effects of hydrotherapy is also presented. The possible side effects of the diets and
hydrotherapy are discussed as well.
     Despite its technical content, the book is written in an accessible language and has an informative
summary for each chapter and a list of key points at the end of each section. Most of the claims in
the bulleted list above are supported by a theory and the author's personal experience (a healthy
subject). About a half of these claims are directly supported by previously published scientific
studies, including the claim about intelligence tests. The author's academic transcripts and test scores
have been documented and can be verified independently.
