Equal Groups and Sharing

Show how you make equal groups. Use a drawing, a number sentence, or both. Check that every group has the same number of objects.

Make equal groups

1.Arrange 20 shells into 4 equal groups. How many shells go in each group? Draw or describe the groups, then write a division sentence.

Use this space to draw the shells in groups.

2.A pack has 24 seed packets. Put the packets into 6 equal piles. How many packets are in one pile? Write a multiplication sentence to check your answer.

3.There are 18 players sharing equally across 3 teams. How many players are on each team? Choose the correct division sentence.

18 ÷ 3 = 6
18 ÷ 6 = 3
3 ÷ 18 = 6
18 + 3 = 21

Share and check

4.Share 35 beads equally among 5 craft groups. How many beads does each group receive? Show a number sentence and a multiplication check.

Draw or organise 35 beads into 5 equal groups.

5.A baker places 32 mini loaves equally into 4 trays. How many loaves are on each tray?

6.Match each division sentence with its quotient. Choose from the quotient bank: 8, 6, 9, 9.

27 ÷ 3
42 ÷ 7
48 ÷ 6
45 ÷ 5

7.True or false: If 8 equal groups contain 6 counters each, there are 48 counters altogether.

TrueFalse

8.Find a different way to split 24 counters into equal groups from 4 groups. State the number of groups, the number in each group, and a matching division sentence.

9.Finn shares 28 shells equally between 4 buckets. Explain how multiplication can check how many shells are in each bucket.
