Matching 
            is the ability to discriminate visually, recognising the differing 
            criteria of size, shape and colour. The ability to discriminate is 
            fundamental to early literacy and numeracy development.

            Skills provides a means by which pupils may engage and interact with 
            a much wider range of 'virtual' artefacts (from eight different topic 
            areas) than might otherwise be possible. The four activities encourage 
            pupils to consider the different criteria by which things can be matched 
            and promotes plenty of opportunities for vocabulary extension in paired 
            and group discussions.
