Pairs of socks

This week in maths we are learning to group objects. We have talked about equal and unequal groups and have now started learning about groups of 2’s, 5’s and 10’s

Today we used socks and objects to help us make pairs. Lots of children confused the number of objects with the number of pairs so we will continue to work on this.

Ideas to practice at home

Sorting socks into matching pairs and counting the pairs

Find pairs of objects around the house

Find pairs of objects on the body eg 2 eyes and say how many pairs
