Grouping - Making Equal Groups - PowerPoint

Mathematics teaching resources for Year 1 pupils place an emphasis on number and place value, alongside multiplication and division concepts. One of the interactive teaching tools includes a PowerPoint presentation that guides students through the process of making equal groups. The presentation is complemented by worksheets that encourage students to group objects such as fish and carrots into equal sets. For example, they may be asked to divide a number of fish into equal groups of two or ten and then calculate how many groups they have formed. This hands-on approach helps to solidify their understanding of grouping and division in a practical and engaging manner.

Further worksheets delve deeper into the concept of grouping by presenting various scenarios where students are required to sort flowers into equal groups, filling in the blanks to complete the sentences. These exercises challenge the students to apply their knowledge to different quantities and group sizes, reinforcing their understanding of division as making equal groups. Additionally, true or false questions provide an opportunity for self-assessment, where students must determine the accuracy of statements regarding the grouping of items like apples, birds, and cupcakes. This variety of tasks ensures that students can practice making equal groups in multiple contexts, enhancing their mathematical skills and comprehension.
