About this worksheet

Equal groups are the bridge between skip-counting and multiplication. Second graders do not need formal multiplication facts yet, but they do need to understand that four groups of three means the same amount in each group. Children often count only the groups, or they add one group correctly and then forget that every other group must match. This worksheet uses arrays, short contexts, and repeated-addition equations to keep the idea visible. Some items ask for the total, while others ask for the number of groups or the number in each group. That variety prevents the page from becoming simple counting and builds the reasoning students will need for multiplication and division in third grade. The equal-size condition is the key idea.

What your child will learn

  • Count objects arranged in equal groups
  • Match equal groups to repeated addition
  • Use arrays to find a total
  • Find a missing group size or number of groups

Worked example

If there are 4 rows with 3 stars in each row, add 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 or count by threes: 3, 6, 9, 12.

Common mistake

Counting the number of groups instead of counting all the objects in the equal groups.

Helpful hint

Each group must have the same number before you count the total.
