We’ve now started learning about multiplication in our maths lessons this week using the concept of equal and unequal groups. When describing equal groups, the children have used sentence stems to support them.
There are ____ equal groups with ____ in each group.
There are six equal groups with four in each group. There are six fours.
It is important at this stage that children know what groups are equal and which are unequal.
We then made our own equal groups in lots of different ways.
What is this image showing?
How many groups?
How many in each group?
Well done, Jai – you showed great understanding of this concept.
