Multiplication and division - Make equal groups grouping - Worksheet

Designed to help children grasp the concept of grouping in multiplication and division, the worksheet encourages students to make equal groups from a given total. Initially, the task is to arrange various objects, such as ducks, jars, and cats, into equal groups of 2, 5, or 10. The children then count the groups they've made, which are presented in rows and columns, and record their findings in sentence form. This approach helps them understand the concept without delving into formal division equations.

The worksheet progresses to challenge students with numbers that do not fit neatly into groups, presenting them with two options for recording their answers. For some exercises, they simply write down the number of complete groups and any remaining items. In other cases, they also include the number within each group in their sentences. This variation helps to solidify their understanding of grouping and division. Additionally, the worksheet includes reasoning and problem-solving tasks where children use clues to guess numbers based on their ability to form equal groups, further enhancing their critical thinking skills.
