Math
- The child learned about distance and speed as they moved around the skatepark on the scooter.
- They practiced counting and adding as they measured the number of scoots or jumps they made at different ramps or obstacles.
- They developed an understanding of patterns and sequences as they followed specific paths or tried different tricks.

Encourage the child to create their own obstacle course or design a skatepark layout using paper and crayons. They can measure and mark different distances, angles, and shapes to continue practicing their math skills in a creative and active way.
