Note for Teachers: In this chapter, the focus is on multiplying 1-, 2-, and 3-digit 
numbers by 1-digit numbers, with group sizes less than 10. Children should be 
encouraged to break down the ‘multiplier (no. of groups)’ into multiples of 10 to 
simplify calculations. They can also use strategies like doubling and halving.
Gulabo will have 12 × 3 petals.

FAQs on Class 4 Maths NCERT Book Chapter 9 Equal Groups

1. What are equal groups in mathematics?
Ans. Equal groups in mathematics refer to sets of items that are divided into groups where each group contains the same number of items. This concept helps in understanding division and multiplication, as it allows us to see how many groups we can form with a given total number of items.
2. How can we use equal groups to solve problems?
Ans. We can use equal groups to solve problems by organizing items into groups of the same size. For example, if we have 12 apples and want to share them equally among 3 friends, we can create 3 equal groups with 4 apples in each group. This visual representation helps in understanding division.
3. Why is it important to learn about equal groups in Class 4?
Ans. Learning about equal groups in Class 4 is important because it forms the foundation for understanding more complex mathematical concepts such as multiplication and division. It also helps students develop critical thinking skills and teaches them how to organize and manage quantities effectively.
4. Can you provide an example of equal groups in real life?
Ans. Yes! A common example of equal groups in real life is when organizing chairs for a party. If you have 20 chairs and want to arrange them in rows of 5, you can create 4 equal groups of chairs. This practical example helps students relate the concept of equal groups to everyday situations.
5. How do equal groups relate to multiplication?
Ans. Equal groups relate to multiplication because multiplication can be seen as repeated addition of equal groups. For instance, if you have 4 groups of 3 stars each, instead of adding 3 + 3 + 3 + 3, you can simply multiply 4 (the number of groups) by 3 (the number of stars in each group), resulting in 12 stars in total.
