Things That Come In Groups

We started our unit on multiplication today. To open this unit we read a book called Things That Come in 2's, 3's, and 4's. After the story, we started brainstorming lists of things that come in groups from 2 to 12. Hannah and Emma worked hard their list and Paige and Shelbie worked hard on theirs. It sounds a lot easier than it is. These girls found that out quick.

We worked on the 2's list as a class: 2 eyes, 2 ears, 2 arms, bicycle wheels, 2 hands, 2 feet, 2 halves make a whole, 2 lips, 2 nostrils, 2 legs, 2 parts of the day (A.M./P.M.), twins, etc. By the end of our lesson, we had something on every list except the 6's and the 11's. Our 7's, 8's, and 9's were also a little weak. Try to think of some at home.
