123 Number Magic Matching is an engaging iPhone app developed by PRESCHOOL UNIVERSITY. Designed to help children develop a strong understanding of numbers from 1 to 10, this free educational game offers four math games and interactive features that promote numeracy skills.

The app's first game, "Which Set is a Match?", challenges children to identify the paired set of numerals and tiles that match. In "Which Numeral?", kids count the quantity of objects and select the correct numeral. "Which One Doesn’t Belong?" asks children to spot the tile that doesn't belong with the others, while "Pairing" involves matching quantity tiles with numeral tiles.

123 Number Magic Matching also includes a Number Library, allowing children to experiment with different numerals and quantities. By tapping on a numeral, children can hear its auditory name, while tapping on the quantity tile box changes the object theme. The Number Quiz tests children's numeral recognition by presenting multiple numerals and asking them to choose the matching one.

This app provides numerous benefits for children, including the development of counting skills, familiarity with auditory names and written symbols for numbers 1-10, and practice in counting objects and pairing quantities with numerals. It offers ample opportunities for children to engage with the 1-10 number stage, following the principles of repetition and accelerated learning.

123 Number Magic Matching is designed to be used independently by children, with built-in feedback mechanisms that provide clear directions and assistance. Parents or teachers only need to give the initial instructions, as the app supports self-correction and independent learning. With stress-free gameplay and a focus on optimum performance, this app is a valuable tool for children's math education.
