• They practiced multiplication by calculating the total distance walked based on the number of steps and the length of each step.
• The child applied addition skills when adding up the time it took for the dog walk, considering the minutes spent at different intervals.
• They used division to determine the average time spent per kilometer walked.

In order to continue developing math skills related to walking the dog, the child can explore concepts such as speed and pace. They can measure the time it takes to complete different routes with the dog and calculate the average speed. They could also track the distance walked over a week and create line graphs to analyze the patterns and changes in their walking routine.
