Well vernaculars differ and a counter is a totally intuitive way to describe the air hockey score keeper. I'd be hard pressed to call it a score board especially since the keepers are on opposite sides of the table generally. But I'm totally with you about teaching children that these are equations. I wouldn't be surprised if this curriculum or whatever was built by someone not comfortable with the word equation themselves, for whatever reason.
