Year 1 Multiplication and Division Worksheets – Equal Groups, Arrays and Doubles

Teach early multiplication and division with confidence using this Year 1 multiplication and division lesson resource pack from Summer Block 1 Week 3, fully aligned with the White Rose Maths small steps. Across the week, pupils learn to make equal groups, add equal groups, explore arrays using rows and columns, and practise doubles using practical and pictorial representations.

Children begin by sorting and creating equal and unequal groups, then move on to representing equal groups using repeated addition. They use arrays to organise objects into rows and columns, building understanding of how multiplication can be shown visually. The week finishes with doubles, helping pupils recognise and calculate equal pairs such as 3 + 3 and 5 + 5.
