About Year 1 Grouping and Sharing Worksheets
Can your child make equal groups? These free Year 1 grouping and sharing worksheets introduce early multiplication and division concepts in a visual, hands-on way. Before children learn formal times tables, they need to understand what equal groups look like — and these worksheets make that crystal clear.
This week's five worksheets explore grouping objects into equal sets and sharing objects equally between groups. Your child will circle groups, share items one-by-one, and begin to connect grouping to multiplication and sharing to division. These foundational skills are essential for the times tables work that comes in Year 2.
What's Inside Each Day

Making equal groups — your child circles objects into groups of 2, 5, and 10, seeing how many groups they can make.

Top Tip for Parents
Use snack time as a maths lesson! Ask your child to share 12 grapes equally between 3 plates, or put 15 raisins into groups of 5. When they see that sharing and grouping happen naturally in everyday life, the maths feels relevant and exciting.
