Help your Year 1 child understand division through practical, equal sharing.

Sharing is Caring is a hands-on activity that introduces division by encouraging children to share a collection of objects equally between groups. As they distribute objects one at a time and check that each group has the same amount, they'll build a meaningful understanding of division and what equal sharing really looks like.

Simple to set up and easy to adapt, you'll receive a parent-friendly guide with clear instructions, practical learning tips and ideas to extend the play as your child's confidence grows. The activity is designed to be flexible. Use a muffin tray, small bowls or cups to represent the groups, then share cubes, pom poms, buttons or other small counting objects between them.
