Maths

Abi was helping her mother to put out muffin cases into the trays. She said that she was making a square pattern in laying them out.

Another time, out of nowhere at dinner time, Abi said "two lots of five is ten". Why? She counted five fingers on one hand, then five on the other and said "that makes ten". Owen was so excited to hear of this story that he immediately drew out circles with dots on a piece of paper and started to teach Abi 2 lots of 2, 2 lots of 3, 2 lots of 4 etc. up to 6.
