If you down shift and simply release the clutch you will hear the engine revs kick up to a higher rpm. If, when you down shift you use your right foot to bring the revs up to "where you expect them to be" when you release the clutch, that is rev matching. I bring the revs up at the same time I'm releasing the clutch. You don't want the engine to just rev away while you're holding the clutch in. Practice, practice and practice some more and you will learn to co-ordinate releasing the clutch and bringing up the revs at the right time.
