They are able to recognise up to 30 so need some help to stretch them a bit more thanks!!!! How about estimating? Instead of straightforward counting, estimating, recording their estimate, counting to check, recording actual amount, then finding the numbers on the numberline and seeing how close their estimates were? Who had the closest estimate? etc etc Fun to do catching sequins or corks.... etc in the water / digging & sieving sequins etc in the sand....
