What about some Orchard Toys games? Pop to the Shop is good for numbers, yiu have to work out the cost of items. My 5yo likes it.

Otherwise a calculator (or a toy till with a calculator in).

Foam letters and numbers to stick in the bath?

Box of magnetic letters and numbers.

ELC used to do number snap cards, but that was a while ago!

Giant calculator, DS was fascinated with his for ages.

Dice/dice games like this or just a selection of different shaped ones.

Kids suduko or wordsearch type puzzle books. Poundland had some festive puzzle books last time I was in.

Have a look at the Happy Puzzle company, they have loads of good word and number games. My 5 year old is the same, I have got him the Mobi game, a bit like bananagrams but with numbers instead of letters.

My 5 year old likes playing Bananagrams. It's more aimed at older children/adults, so she sometimes needs a little bit of guidance, but I have seen they now have a junior version. And there is also something called Pairs in Pears, which is similar, but a bit easier, and comes in a green bag that looks like a pear.
My DD loves that bananagrams comes in a yellow bag shaped like a banana.
Boggle is also good fun - again maybe a little advanced at the moment, so you might have to tweak the rules a little, but good to grow into.
