- Counted the number of steps taken
- Measured the distance walked using their own steps
- Identified and counted different shapes in the environment (e.g. square tiles, circular manhole covers)
- Estimated the time it would take to walk a certain distance
- Compared the length of their stride with that of a friend or family member
Continued development related to the activity:
Encourage the child to create a math journal where they can record their walking adventures. They can write down the number of steps taken, the distance walked, and any interesting shapes or patterns they observe. This will help them practice their counting, measuring, and observation skills while also fostering a love for math and the outdoors.
