Sharing and Grouping - Garden Theme

About This Worksheet

This Year 2 multiplication-division worksheet focuses on the essential subtopics of sharing and grouping, providing valuable practice for young learners. Mastering these concepts is crucial as they form the building blocks for understanding more complex multiplication and division problems later on. The worksheet encourages children to develop their problem-solving skills by applying their knowledge of sharing and grouping to solve practical questions. By working through these exercises, students will build confidence in their mathematical abilities and develop a deeper understanding of how multiplication and division relate to real-world scenarios. This worksheet directly aligns with the UK National Curriculum for Year 2 mathematics, specifically addressing the objectives related to understanding multiplication and division as repeated addition and equal sharing. The activities promote the development of key mathematical skills such as counting, problem-solving, and logical reasoning. Furthermore, the worksheet helps children to develop their ability to visualise mathematical concepts, which is an important skill for future success in mathematics. Providing ample opportunities to practice sharing and grouping skills in Year 2 will solidify their understanding and prepare them for more advanced mathematical concepts in subsequent years. This multiplication-division worksheet is a valuable tool for teachers and parents looking to support Year 2 students in developing a strong foundation in mathematics. Consistent practice with this worksheet will improve their skills and build their confidence.

💡 How to Use This Worksheet

This worksheet is designed to reinforce Year 2 students' understanding of sharing and grouping as foundational concepts for multiplication and division. It can be used after an introductory lesson on these topics, as a practice activity, or as a quick assessment. When using the worksheet, encourage children to use concrete objects (e.g., counters, buttons) or drawings to help them visualise the problems. For students who are struggling, provide additional support by working through the first question together. For students who are confident, encourage them to create their own sharing and grouping problems. A common mistake to watch out for is children not sharing equally or grouping items inconsistently. Extension activities could include asking children to explain their reasoning or to represent the problems using number sentences.
