Socks multiplication

In Year One children are learning some multiplications. Today they paired up lots of (clean!) socks and practised counting up in multiples of two. They seemed to enjoy doing such a hands-on, practical activity in maths and most of them were able to say how many socks they had altogether without having to count them all individually.

They also discussed other things that occur in pairs, coming up with great examples including eyes, ears, feet, hands, arms and legs. Can you think of anything else?
