Oh, also wanted to mention, there are curricula out there that use stories to introduce numbers and math concepts, which might be very helpful to your daughter.

Why does a 5-yr-old NEED to be solid with her numbers? She's still in kindergarten - give her time! Maybe by the end of grade one I'd start to wonder, but not at this age. If you really want to work on numbers with her, perhaps...

We are doing Enki kindergarten and loving it, and yes there is a lot of material for the parent to read through, but I don't find that the actual implementation of it is overwhelming or a lot of work for that matter. It has worked...
