Multiplication and division - Make equal groups 2 - Worksheet

The worksheet on Multiplication and Division focuses on the concept of equal groups, a foundational element in understanding multiplication and division. Children are tasked with identifying the number of groups and the number of objects within each group. The exercises start with simple amounts to help children grasp the basic idea of equal groups. As they progress, the quantities increase, challenging the students to find both the number of groups and the total amount of objects by applying their knowledge of multiplication.

Further developing their mathematical reasoning, children tackle reasoning tasks that delve into the properties of equal groups. They are presented with sentences to complete, such as "There are ____ equal groups of ____ tangerines," and are required to fill in the blanks with the correct numbers. The worksheet also includes a section on reasoning and problem-solving, which encourages students to explore the concept of equal groups through statements like "Equal groups always must have the same amount of objects," and to draw their interpretations of what equal and unequal groups look like. Answers are provided for some sections, allowing for self-assessment and a better understanding of the topic.
