teaching partitives &/or collectives

i am researching how partitives (a pinch of salt, three jars of jam) and collectives (gaggle of geese) can be difficult for ESL students. is there anyone who has some ideas for how to each these two parts of speech? (any level of proficiency and at any age) or stories to share? i appreciate all input!
