Continued development related to the activity:
1. Encourage the child to create their own variations of the game, such as using multiplication or division instead of addition and subtraction, to further practice different math skills.
2. Have the child keep a scorecard and calculate their own scores after each round, helping them practice addition and subtraction in a real-life context.
3. Introduce other math-related card games, such as "War" or "Go Fish," to further strengthen their number recognition and counting skills.
