For continued development, consider incorporating movement-based math games and activities. You can create an outdoor scavenger hunt where the child has to solve addition and subtraction problems to find hidden clues, or use hopscotch to practice number sequencing and basic arithmetic. These creative activities help keep math engaging and promote physical movement at the same time.
