Fascinating Fact:

Arrays show both: 3 × 4 = 12 is 3 rows of 4. Read it the other way, 12 ÷ 3 = 4 each in a row.

In KS1 Maths, Year 2 pupils link multiplication and division. Arrays, equal groups, and number lines help show how repeated addition builds products and how sharing or grouping finds quotients.

Key Terms

Equal groups: Same number in each group, e.g., 4 groups of 3.
Array: Rows and columns that model a multiplication, like 3 rows of 4.
Inverse: An opposite operation; division undoes multiplication and vice versa.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

How do arrays help with multiplication and division?

Arrays show totals in rows and columns. Reading by rows models multiplication; reading by equal shares models division of the same numbers.

What is an easy way to check a division answer?

Use the inverse. If 12 ÷ 3 = 4, then check 4 × 3 = 12. If the product matches the starting number, the division is correct.

How can I multiply quickly in Year 2?

Skip-count in 2s, 5s, and 10s, or use doubles and near doubles. For 3 × 4, count 4, 8, 12 or see 2 × 4 then add another 4.
