Your Classroom, Your Way

Group Maker gives teachers total flexibility to fit any activity or lesson plan:

  • Total Control: Choose whether you want to sort by Students Per Group (perfect for partner work) or by Number of Groups Total (ideal for rotating centers).

  • Instant Sorting: Our algorithm ensures a truly random mix, giving every student the chance to collaborate with someone new.

  • Thematic Displays: Keep the engagement high by choosing a Theme to display your results! From "Space Explorers" to "Under the Sea," the group reveals become an exciting moment for the whole class.

Why Teachers Love Group Maker:

  • Eliminate Bias: Ensure total fairness in your classroom. When the "computer" decides, students accept the results with a smile.

  • Save Time: Go from a whole-group lesson to small-group collaboration in seconds. No more scribbling names on post-it notes during your five-minute transition.

  • Perfect for Differentiation: Use your saved lists to quickly shuffle students based on the day's specific needs.

  • Visual Engagement: Project the results on your whiteboard so students can instantly see where they belong and who they are working with.
