- 2x3 was a 6-pack of soda.
- 2x6 was a carton of eggs.
- 8x8 was a chessboard.
- The fives were sometimes collections of nickels, but 5x12 was the 60 minutes on a clock, and 5x6 was time too.
I thought I knew of more iconic sets like these, but I can't think of any more as good as these. I'm hoping for help. Do you have images in your head for any of the multiplication facts?
Maybe threes will be 3-leaf clovers. 6 of them have 18 petals. That doesn't seem nearly as iconic as the ones above, though.
Fours could be legs on dogs. 6 dogs have 24 legs. Twos could be eyes on friends...
What are your favorite images for multiplication facts?
