Subject: This worked for me at the age of four

Using pennies: My Father stacked up a pile of five, counting them out
 from one to five. Then he had me make four more equal piles. Then
stated five, five is twenty-five. I figured out on my own how to get
twenty-five, twenty-five. I must admit that my family was bothered by
this lesson later, as I kept wanting to know what the name was for
different piles of pennies.
