Hold a rocket countdown. Start at 100 and count back by 10s to zero, then start at 50 and count back by 5s, then by 2s from 20. Let your child press a pretend launch button at the end. Ask your child to work out the step by looking at the gap between two numbers. When your child counts back from a number like 540 smoothly, even and odd numbers are next.
