Playing skipbo

Math

• The child has learned to count and recognize numbers up to 12 while playing skipbo.
• They have practiced basic addition and subtraction skills by adding and subtracting cards from their hand.
• The child has learned about sequencing and ordering numbers in the correct order to play the game.
• They have also learned about probability and strategic thinking by deciding which cards to play and which to hold onto for future turns.

Playing skipbo can be further developed by creating math word problems related to the game. For example, the child can be given a scenario where they have a certain number of cards and need to figure out how many more cards they need to complete a sequence. This will reinforce their understanding of numbers, addition, and subtraction in a fun way.
