Let your learners use their knowledge of grouping and sharing to divide by 2; while representing division as an abstract number sentence using the division and equals symbols to reinforce this knowledge.
By the end of this unit, children will be able to:
Use their knowledge of grouping and sharing to divide by 2.
Represent division as an abstract number sentence using the division and equals symbols to reinforce this knowledge.
National Curriculum Objectives
Year 2 Number: Multiplication and division
Recall and use multiplication and division facts for the 2, 5 and 10 multiplication tables, including recognising odd and even numbers.
Calculate mathematical statements for multiplication and division within the multiplication tables and write them using the multiplication (×), division (÷) and equals (=) signs.
Show that multiplication of 2 numbers can be done in any order (commutative) and division of 1 number by another cannot.
Solve problems involving multiplication and division, using materials, arrays, repeated addition, mental methods, and multiplication and division facts, including problems in contexts.
