Beginning to Divide - Grouping - Worksheet

The "Beginning to Divide - Grouping" worksheet is an educational resource designed to teach primary school children the basics of division through grouping. The worksheet presents engaging activities where students are asked to divide a number of objects into equal-sized groups and then determine the number of groups formed. For example, the first task involves dividing 8 butterflies into equal groups of 4 and then expressing this division as a mathematical sentence. The worksheet challenges students with a variety of scenarios, such as dividing 9 balloons into groups of 3, 14 fish into groups of 2, 24 cubes into groups of 6, and 20 apples into groups of 4, each time prompting the student to write the corresponding division sentence.

The second part of the worksheet, "Dividing by Grouping Worksheet 2", continues to reinforce the concept of division through practical examples involving different fruits. Students are tasked with creating groups of a specified size, such as groups of 3 apples, 4 cherries, 2 oranges, 6 strawberries, and 5 pears, and then determining the total number of groups they can make. These exercises help to build a foundational understanding of division as a method of grouping objects and enable students to visualise and solve division problems in a clear and accessible way.
