Division Mat- Partitioning and Equal Grouping
Use this handy resource when teaching about equal grouping and partitioning concepts in your classroom.
Provide students with a number that can be both shared equally into a number and placed in groups of, to help them see how a whole can be divided in both ways.
This resource is fantastic to use for numeracy rotations, a warmup activity or a fast finisher.
Available in Colour and B & W for convenience. It can be laminated for repeated use or printed and reproduced for lessons.
