Equal Groups

We've started multiplication!

Multiplication is all about equal groups.  Many things in real life come in sets.  For example, you have two eyes, two hands, two feet, etc.  What else comes in twos?

For each number 2-12, try to think of something that comes in sets of that number.  Try to think of something different than what has already been written.  (Hint: some numbers will be a lot harder than others.)
