- Counted the number of chores completed
- Measured the time it took to complete each chore
- Calculated the total time spent doing chores

To continue developing math skills through chores, parents can:
- Assign chores with specific measurements, such as filling a bucket with a certain amount of water
- Have the child create a chore chart with different tasks and time estimates
- Introduce the concept of money by paying the child for completing certain chores and having them calculate their earnings
- Encourage the child to find ways to make chores more efficient, such as timing themselves and trying to beat their previous record
