Try to find math problems everywhere. Let's say you are making a cake (a real one, nor an imaginary one) if you must put 5 eggs in the cake and you already put 3, how many more must you add?
My old daughter used to play 6x6 sudoku. It's the closest thing to math in mainstream. Note that the strategies to play 6x6 are the same than in 9x9, but the best order to apply them is different. It's a nice game because you must make a lot of inferences and keep very clear what you really know and what you wish were true.
There are a few books with math problems for kids, but don't know any translated to English. One book that has some math stories is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Man_Who_Counted It's doesn't have too many problems for the kid, but it has a few problems that the protagonist solves. The numbers that appear in the problems are extremely well selected to create coincidences that the protagonist must solve.
