This is not a question but a statement. I'm a 60 year old female that I have to admit I cannot do simple two digit math or spelling or whatever. I'm ashamed of it.
Many reason..stroke 3 years ago and fibromyalgia fog. I found out just how bad I am when i was playing a game of brain buddy's.

The way students learn math is a 3 step process. First, they learn through concrete examples such as manipulatives (things you touch and move). I use cubes, pennies, anything. I good game for this is how many are missing, in which you know the total, hide some of them, count the number that are left, and then figure out how many are missing. Any games where you touch things are good.
The next step is pictures. Pictures are abstract for young students, but close to concrete. You may want to find worksheets with lots of pictures on them.
The final step is numbers, which are highly abstract because they represent the number and students cannot visualize how many the number represents or tell by looking at the number.
Maybe your number sense was effected when you had your medical issues. I think by determining where you are in this process, you can rebuild some of the connections you may have lost. Good luck.
