Classroom group size planner
Split a class into groups with a maximum size or a chosen group count.
A clear answer. Here’s how.
With a maximum group size, chooses the smallest group count that respects it. With a group count, divides people as evenly as possible. Reports how many groups have each size; no empty groups are allowed. This plans sizes only; use Random groups to assign names.
