In the context I presented you'd want to:
Move the gear selector from 2nd into neutral,
(optional: You may press the brake to slow down a bit if needed)
"Blip" the throttle to rev the engine a bit,
While the revs are high, your foot should now be off the gas
Engage the clutch (revs should still be high, but now falling)
Place the gear (hopefully with less effort) into first.
Timewise all of this takes place around one second.
It is basically called revmatching:

That's double-clutch rev-matching. Synchromesh transmission really eliminate the need for this in most circumstances. You can just push the clutch pedal in, switch from 3-2, THEN stab the throttle and disengage the clutch pedal. At least that's what I do.
