What are equal groups?
Equal groups have the same number of things in each group. To find the total, we multiply: 4 groups of 5 = 4 × 5 = 20. To share a total into equal groups, we divide.
A train 🚂 with 6 coaches and 15 seats in each coach has 6 × 15 = 90 seats!

Solved examples
Common mistakes
| Mistake | Correct |
|---|---|
| 40 × 6 = 2,400 | 40 × 6 = 240 (only one zero). |
| 12 × 3 = 32 (forgetting to multiply the tens) | 12 × 3 = 30 + 6 = 36. |
| Ignoring the remainder | 58 ÷ 3 = 19 with 1 left over. |
| Thinking 3 × 4 and 4 × 3 are different | Both are 12. |
Daily life
We use equal groups when we arrange chairs in rows, pack sweets in boxes, plant saplings in a garden, count wheels on vehicles and share money or snacks fairly among friends.
Tips for parents and teachers
- Arrange coins or buttons in rows and count them by multiplying.
- Play jumping games on a number line chalked on the floor.
- Ask the child to double prices while shopping.
- Share snacks equally and talk about what is left over.
- Let the child retry the challenges to earn 3 stars.
