Option 3 : (a) and (b)

Pre number concepts can be developed in children during the preschool years. i.e. before attaining 7 years of age(before the concrete operation stage).These include:

  • Matching leads to understanding the concept of one-to-one correspondence.
  • Matching forms the basis for our number system. When a child can create “the same”, it then becomes possible to match two sets. This becomes a pre requisite skill for the more difficult tasks of conservation.
  • ​Hierarchical Inclusion is a counting principle, sometimes referred to as the cardinal principle which is also related to pre-number concept formation in children.
  • It is the understanding that numbers are nested inside of each other and that the number grows by one each count. 

  • On the other hand measurement is considered as number concept not a pre-number concept since it requires more cognitive ability as children can't compare the length of objects in their earlier stage.
  • Counting, recognising and using numerals correctly, comparing numbers, measurement and operations on numbers are considered as number concepts which come after pre-number concepts.

​Hence A & B are the correct options.
