I used number mats. I let Ella jump on the numbers from 20 to 1 while counting backwards. You can make your own like TmT did: http://forum.brillkids.com/teaching-your-child-math/printable-numberlines/msg59675/#msg59675

or you can buy one: http://www.lakeshorelearning.com/product/productDet.jsp;jsessionid=N9dH2w5jnd9B1fdFy5JmRt855GhTGjrn414rWj2tLLprzvp61dBK!1403828257!49112879?productItemID=1%2C689%2C949%2C371%2C898%2C313&ASSORTMENT%3C%3East_id=1408474395181113&bmUID=1308433735122

You can also use it for teaching "counting on."

we made a game out of the microwave.

Put it on for 10 seconds and count backwards or however long you desire. It's a little hard at first in the big numbers so we used skip counting

document.getElementById('recent_loading').style.display = 'none';document.getElementById('recent_page_box').style.display = '';
