I especially like the idea of using sunlight and shadows to show “how many ” with fingers. An add-on idea might be to trace finger shadows and write the number next to it.

I once taught middle school students to rehearse their multiplies using the same finger sequence I used to employ with fives and tens. They recalled them much quicker doing that.
