Model and Learn With Our Modelling Equal Groups Multiplication Worksheets

Engage your students with these two-page Modelling Equal Groups Multiplication Worksheets—perfect for building conceptual understanding through visual modelling! The first worksheet presents relatable word problems that encourage students to draw equal groups to solve multiplication scenarios, such as baskets of apples or rows of books. 

The second worksheet takes learning a step further with error analysis – students examine a completed problem, identify the mistake and correct it by drawing the accurate model and finding the correct answer. These modelling equal groups in multiplication worksheets not only reinforce multiplication skills, but also promote critical thinking and self-correction. Answer keys are included for easy grading and guided instruction. Ideal for classroom use, homework, or maths stations!

Activities to Pair With These Equal Groups Multiplication Worksheets 

Our equal groups multiplication worksheets are most effective when paired with hands-on activities to ensure strong mathematical thinking and connections. Here are a few ideas to get you started!

Group It – Give students a set of manipulatives. Then read a multiplication story problem that can be solved by creating equal groups. Students then use the manipulatives to represent and solve the problem.
Swap and Solve – Students write their own multiplication problems that can be solved by creating equal groups. They then swap problems with a partner and solve them using manipulatives.
Story Problem Theatre – Students act out multiplication story problems using props (e.g., ‘You are the baskets, and each of you holds 3 apples!’).

You can also download the editable Google Slides version of these modelling equal groups in multiplication worksheets and let students create their own assignment!
