We use different books, tools and games.
I have a bright and colourful 1-20 number line on the wall. Everyday Seychelle will count the numbers from 1-20 & then I will point to various numbers in the range and get her to tell what number it is.
- next to this I have a 1-100 chart on the wall as well.

We also play Snakes & Ladders together a few times a week. I find this really helpful for Seychelle with the introduction of the numbers up to 100. She is now able to recognise & know in a general sense her numbers up to 100. (Counting up to 100 is not something needed to achieve at her age, it is an objective for Year 1/New Entrants or K (USA)).
Other things we use are:
Educo's Find & Count - this is a learning game that Seychelle can play independantly.
It is a game of counting, matching and checking.
Spotty Dogs - by Orchard Toys
Match & Count - by Orchard Toys
Easy-Learn Maths - Kinder B by Frank & Valerie Marett
This book gives Seychelle practice in writing and counting numbers 11-20, shapes, patterns, beginning adding and subtraction, 2D, 3D, symmetry, money etc.
No Nonsense Number - activities to support the teaching of number knowledge, addition and subtraction (Emergent Level) by Suzi de Gouveia
Galaxy Kids Maths - Magenta Level by Sunshine Books (NZ)
These books are fantastic. They are short easy readers (about vaying maths concepts) that come with a Teacher's guide, kind of like guided reading with activities and questions you can ask your child.

Seychelle works through maths problems suitable for her age and level. Not only is she learning maths but also computer skills like using a mouse etc.
