- Counting: The child learned to count the number of times they were tagged by the ball.
- Addition: The child learned to add the number of times they tagged other players with the ball.
- Subtraction: The child learned to subtract the number of times they were tagged from the number of times they tagged others to determine their score.
- Comparing numbers: The child learned to compare their score with other players' scores to see who had the highest or lowest score.
- Estimation: The child learned to estimate the number of times they would be tagged or tag others during the game.
For continued development, the child can practice mental math by keeping track of their score without counting out loud. They can also create a score chart to record their scores from multiple games and analyze the data to find patterns or trends. Additionally, the child can modify the game by assigning different point values to different players or by using a larger ball that requires more force to tag someone, which can introduce concepts of multiplication or force measurement.
