- Counted the number of dogs
- Measured the height and weight of the dogs
- Calculated the average weight of the dogs
- Estimated the amount of food needed for the dogs based on their weight
- Used fractions to divide treats evenly among the dogs
To continue developing math skills while playing with dogs, the child could:
- Practice measuring and weighing different objects around the house
- Calculate the cost of dog food based on the weight and price per pound
- Use ratios to determine the amount of water needed for a certain amount of dog food
- Create a chart or graph to track the dogs' weight over time
