Yes! My 5 yo daughter can count up to 12 or 19, perhaps 29 with some help. But she only groks up to 5. For example she understand that 5-2=3, but she does not understand that 6-2=4. (In a story, like "There are 5 apples on a table, and I eat 2, how many are left?") She is improving, but it's slowly than what imagined before having kids.
As the sibling comment explains, for older kids proportions is a natural and important topic, but it's too much for my daughter yet. (I recommend to start doubling or halving the recipes, and later more advanced stuff like 18/24.)
I guess it's not possible to advance too much after that with kids, but there are a few nice initial activities.
