What's the math in this game?

This game helps children practice counting to a certain number. See if they can count in the correct order and if they are able to synchronize their counting with their jumping. For an extra challenge, make a counting mistake and see if children can help you fix it. When you make a mistake, it helps children think about same, more, and less. It also shows them that counting mistakes happen, and that’s okay!
