What is Counting in Groups? (And Why Is It Faster?)

Before learning this concept, students counted numbers one by one — 1, 2, 3, 4, and so on. Counting in Groups is a smarter and faster way to count multiple objects at once. Instead of counting each object separately, we combine them into small equal sets and count those sets.

For example, if there are 8 shoes, counting them one by one takes longer. But when we group them into pairs (groups of 2), we can count faster — 2, 4, 6, 8. That’s four groups of two. This simple trick not only saves time but also builds the foundation for multiplication and skip counting.

In Class 2 Maths (Chapter 2 – Counting in Groups) from the NCERT Math-Magic book, students learn to recognize patterns, count by 2s, 5s, and 10s, and understand how grouping helps in daily life situations like counting pencils, fingers, coins, or toys. By learning to count in equal groups, children develop better number sense, logical reasoning, and faster problem-solving skills.

How is Counting in Groups Related to Multiplication?

Counting in Groups is the first and most important step toward learning multiplication. It shows how multiplication is just repeated addition made simpler and faster. When we count equal groups, we’re actually doing small multiplication problems in disguise.

For example:
3 groups of 2 → 2, 4, 6
Here, we are adding 2 three times (2 + 2 + 2 = 6).
This means 3 × 2 = 6.

Another example:
4 groups of 5 → 5, 10, 15, 20
We are adding 5 four times (5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 20).
This means 4 × 5 = 20.

In Class 2 Maths (Chapter 2 – Counting in Groups), students use pictures, skip counting, and real-life examples—like counting pencils, coins, or buttons—to understand this pattern. By connecting grouping with multiplication, they learn how numbers grow through repetition and pattern recognition. This makes the shift from addition to multiplication smooth, logical, and fun.

Encourage students to visualize objects in groups and read the skip counting sequences aloud. This builds early number sense and prepares them for multiplication in higher classes.

Chapter 2 Counting in Groups Worksheet Solutions 

This section helps students verify their answers after completing the worksheet. The answers are organized under collapsible sections for each exercise so that learners can self-check step by step. The collapsible format keeps the page clean and interactive — students can attempt questions first and then click to reveal solutions when ready.

Each exercise below follows the NCERT Class 2 Maths Chapter 2 – Counting in Groups pattern. It reinforces skip counting and group-based multiplication understanding.

Exercise 1: Counting in Pairs (Skip Counting by 2s)

When we count in 2s, we are adding two repeatedly.

• 3 groups of 2 = 6 (2, 4, 6)
• 4 groups of 2 = 8 (2, 4, 6, 8)
• Skip counting sequence: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20

This exercise strengthens the concept of pairing objects and recognizing even numbers.

Exercise 2: Skip Counting by 5s

Counting in 5s teaches children how to move in larger number jumps.

• 3 groups of 5 = 15 (5, 10, 15)
• 5 groups of 5 = 25 (5, 10, 15, 20, 25)
• Skip counting sequence: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40

It helps students visualize groups of five—like counting fingers, petals, or coins.

Exercise 3: Skip Counting by 10s

Counting in 10s introduces children to the base of our number system.

• 4 groups of 10 = 40 (10, 20, 30, 40)
• 6 groups of 10 = 60 (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60)
• Skip counting sequence: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80

This activity prepares students for understanding place value and tens in larger numbers.

Exercise 4: Word Problems (Mixed Groups)

These problems apply skip counting to real-life objects, improving reasoning and application skills.

• 5 birds → 2 wings each → 10 wings in total
• 4 bouquets → 10 flowers each → 40 flowers in total
• 6 starfish → 5 arms each → 30 arms in total
