Year 1 Sharing and Grouping Worksheets

These Year 1 sharing and grouping worksheets introduce children to early division ideas through practical and visual activities. In Year 1, children begin to understand division by sharing objects equally and by making groups of the same size.

The worksheets help children practise equal sharing, grouping objects and counting equal groups. This supports early division understanding without needing formal written division methods. Children learn that fair sharing means each group has the same amount.

Sharing and grouping helps children understand equal groups from a division perspective. This builds confidence with fairness, equal parts and early problem solving, while also linking naturally to multiplication, doubles, halves and fractions.

Parents can use these worksheets alongside practical sharing activities at home. Children can share snacks, counters or toys into equal groups, then complete the worksheet to connect the practical activity with written maths.

Teachers can use sharing and grouping worksheets during practical lessons, intervention sessions, maths centres or revision before moving on to fractions. Once children are confident with sharing and grouping, they are better prepared for halves, quarters, equal groups and early multiplication and division problems.
