Help students develop a deeper understanding of multiplication by giving them the opportunity to build equal groups themselves! This interactive digital multiplication activity allows students to create visual models and connect those models to multiplication equations.

Students are given a specific number of groups and objects in each group. They drag the circles and objects into place to build the model, then type a multiplication equation that represents the equal groups they created.

What's Included:

• Interactive equal groups activities
• Multiplication modeling practice
• Movable circles for creating groups
• Movable objects for building each group
• Multiplication equation practice
• Google Slides version
• PowerPoint version
• Seesaw links

Skills Practiced:

Students practice understanding equal groups, number of groups, number in each group, total number of objects, and multiplication equations.

Display the activities on your projector, Smartboard, or interactive whiteboard for whole-group modeling, or assign them to students for independent practice, math centers, small groups, or intervention.

Making Equal Groups is especially helpful for students who are just beginning multiplication because they aren't simply solving equations. They are building and seeing the multiplication represented visually.
