Everyone welcome! # Year 1 Maths-Sharing Equally ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/0AE21725-1D71-48D4-893D-9CBE1D398DAD.jpeg) 21 May 2024 Today in their maths lesson, Year 1 shared equally. To do this, they took their time and made sure that each of the groups that they were sharing into had the same amount of cubes or counters. Some children grouped theirs into rows and/or columns like an array to help them see more clearly and others even managed to make the connection between multiplication and division (sharing) e.g. 40 shared between 4 will be 10 because I know that there are 4 groups of 10 in 40.
