Number Harbor · Sharing & equal groups

Share and Group

A pile of pictured fruit waits beside baskets. Your child either shares the fruit between a set of baskets or taps the pile to build groups of a given size. They check equal amounts or choose how many full baskets they made. Later questions include fruit left over.

Every game is free for every family until 20 November 2026. No card, no payment.

What it practises

  • Share a total into equal amounts
  • Make groups of a given size and count them
  • Identify full groups and leftover items

How the levels grow

  1. Seed Level 1
  2. Sprout Level 2
  3. Bloom Level 3
  4. Flourish Level 4
  5. Shine Level 5

For ages 4–6, level 1 shares two, four or six items between two baskets. Level 2 shares up to twelve between two or three baskets. Level 3 forms groups of two or three from totals up to fifteen. Level 4 alternates sharing and grouping, using totals up to twenty. Level 5 asks for full groups and leftovers, using group sizes from two to five. Some level 5 totals divide exactly, so nothing is left over.

This game is on the Kindergarten path, for ages 4–6. Good play climbs a level; a hard day holds it, and a level earned is never taken away.

What you might notice

  • Does your child check that each share is equal?
  • Do they distinguish the group size from the number of groups?

Try it at home

Place six whole socks on a clear surface and draw two large baskets on paper. Share the socks between the drawings, one at a time. Compare the two amounts. Then gather them and make groups of two, counting how many groups you formed.

Not in this game: The game does not practise written long division or dividing items into fractions.
