half an idea here. can you get hold of a couple of completed sudoku games, and delete just a few numbers. Solving those may be useful for sitting still times, eg, train journeys. Jen was a whizz with numbers, too, from almost as young. She did, however, spend her formative years watching Sesame Street with Gareth. Setting the table for meals was called 'doing the counting' as she had to count how many of each thing we needed. L is probably way past that stage, tho. All I can think of has already been suggested - total of how many to cook if L has 1, mum has 3 dad has 2, etc Everyday maths we do without thinking - also a useful distraction technique in shops. An abacus! just to see what she does with it! My goodness, I have forgotten what I used to do.
