One More One Less - Years K, 1, 2
Watch video link above - Ask your child to keep track of the amount of counters on the table at any one time (other items of the same size could be used).One More One Less Extended - Years 1, 2, 3, 4
Watch the video link above - challenge your child to keep track of the amount of counters on the table at any one time (other items of the same size could be used). Trade counters as a count of 10 and focus on skip counting on and off the decade.One More One Less (using money) - Years K-6
Watch the video link above - challenge your child to keep track of the amount of money on the table at any one time. Use simpler money (10c coins, $1 coins, $2 coins) until the concept of adding and subtracting is consolidated.Handfuls - Years K - 6
Watch video Link above - Ask your child to take a handful of counters (other items of the same size could be used) and predict the total amount they have taken.

Ask questions like:- What helped you to work out how many you have in total?
- Could you organise your counters another way?
- Are there more or less counters than you had predicted?
