Today we are learning to: Make equal groups

Look at these apples. We can say: There are 2 equal groups with 3 in each group. There are 6 apples altogether.

Can you find another way to represent these groups. What objects in your house could you use ? Could you make 2 groups of 3 crayons or 2 groups of 3 grapes ? You can use anything you like. When you have come up with several ways to represent these groups you could make some different sets of equal groups e.g. 5 groups of 2  or 6 groups of 4. When you have made them take a photo and email the photo to me so I can see what you have done.

If you would like an extra challenge then you can watch this lesson and try these problems:
