Equal Groups

Free equal-groups practice for Year 1 — group, share and arrange virtual counters, then record what you made. No account needed.

About Equal Groups

Make complete groups from a set, share counters equally between trays, and build rectangular arrays before recording the result. Correct answers can trigger celebrations. Feedback and retry options depend on the game.

Curriculum purpose

Learning objective: Represent simple multiplication and division problems with equal groups, equal sharing and rectangular arrays using virtual counters.

Curriculum anchor: England mathematics programme of study: Year 1 multiplication and division problems using concrete objects, pictorial representations and arrays with teacher support.

This game is designed as short independent practice after an idea has been introduced. It does not replace direct teaching, mathematical or scientific discussion, or an adult checking whether the learner can explain the idea away from the screen.

For parents and carers

Repeat a question with real counters and ask the learner to explain what stays equal. This virtual activity covers grouping, sharing and arrays up to 20; multiplication facts, written symbols, doubles and halves need their linked practice and discussion. Take a break when you need one.
