Do not destroy curiosity
The temptation is to move away from exploring maths through physical objects and play and dive into worksheets, facts and methods.
Your main aim at this stage should be to encourage and maintain curiosity.
This means continuing to use physical objects, modelling written methods but not stressing if your child copies or not as well as being open to a range of ideas and strategies.
When I started down this path with my eldest home educated child, I recorded exactly what I did so that other homeschooling parents can use this in their own home.
Not to copy, but for inspiration. You can grab this for free below.

"Ruth’s coaching sessions are invaluable resource for home ed parents, providing both reassurance and practical, actionable strategies to effectively nurture their child’s connection to the often daunting subject of mathematics. Ruth possesses a truly unique ability to make maths accessible and understandable for everyone.

Thank you Ruth!"
