That sounds no fun
I'm actually a specialist maths teacher but only if you are working below a level two, which means you struggle to get the number 1 - 10 in order. Don't think I can help much.

Haha, not to worry!
I remember your story in the 'Absolute Power' QOTW, made me smile.

Aw bless you
This year I have reception so this is children in their first year of real school.
We start numeracy by teaching the concept of 1.
Strangely we start to teach reading with the letter s.

1 and 0 are the most important numbers.
Along with π, e and √-1, but they'll come across them in due time.

I taught nursery last year and I got them to prove their existence
before I'd let them go and play.

They managed it too.
