💡 How to Use This Worksheet

This worksheet is designed to be used as an introductory activity or reinforcement exercise for Year 2 students learning about multiplication and division through equal groups. It can be used after an initial lesson on the concept, or as a quick review. For students who are struggling, provide concrete manipulatives such as counters or small toys to help them visualise the equal groups. Encourage them to physically create the groups before attempting to answer the questions. Common mistakes to watch for include students not recognising equal groups when the arrangement is different (e.g., a row vs. a circle) and confusing the number of groups with the number of items in each group. For students who complete the worksheet quickly and accurately, challenge them to create their own equal group problems and share them with a partner. You could also ask them to draw different arrangements of the same equal groups.
