Common misconception
Children may rely on counting from 0 rather than seeing the five and a bit structure of the numbers 6 to 10 and may therefore not partition efficiently.
Use fingers to expose the 5 and a bit structure. 'Grow' a number by putting up fingers one at a time while counting, 'show it' by putting up the fingers all at once, 'throw it' as you quickly throw the number of fingers forwards.
