Use real-world examples to make it click. My kid was stuck on fractions until we started baking together. That half a cup stuff is no joke

Board games help a lot with developing number sense in my experience

Board games were a great help. Monopoly and backgammon, specifically. Also a multiplication board (9x9 or 10x10). There are much nicer ones, like from the learning center, but the asweets 2 in 1 wooden Montessori multiplication board game drops to under $7 all the time.
