This hands-on practice helps solidify their understanding of division as the inverse operation of multiplication. Through solving these problems, children enhance their problem-solving skills and logical thinking. They learn to visualise the process of sharing and grouping, which aids in developing their number sense and mathematical fluency. This worksheet is designed to build confidence in tackling division problems by presenting them in a simple and accessible format. The use of relatable scenarios and visual aids makes the learning process engaging and enjoyable for Year 2 students. Mastering these early multiplication-division skills is vital for future success in more complex mathematical concepts. This worksheet provides valuable practice and reinforces the understanding of sharing-grouping, ensuring a solid foundation for Year 2 students.

💡 How to Use This Worksheet

This worksheet is designed to be used after introducing the concepts of sharing and grouping in Year 2. It can be used as a follow-up activity to reinforce learning or as a quick assessment to check understanding. For students who are struggling, provide concrete objects like counters or cubes to help them visualise the sharing and grouping process. Encourage them to draw pictures to represent the problems. For students who are confident, challenge them to create their own sharing and grouping problems. Watch out for common mistakes such as not sharing equally or miscounting the number of groups. Extension activities could include creating word problems based on real-life scenarios involving sharing and grouping.
