Year 1 Calculation - Division and Sharing

In KS1 Maths, division means sharing or grouping equally. Sometimes there is a number left over, called a remainder. Practise fair shares with objects, pictures, and quick games.

Fascinating Fact:

Left over means a remainder. Share 7 apples between 2 children → each 3, 1 left over.

In KS1 Maths, division is sharing or grouping items into equal parts. Some numbers do not split exactly, so a remainder is left. Build confidence with the Division Game and simple real-life sharing problems.

  • Division: Splitting a number into equal parts or groups.
  • Share equally: Give the same amount to each person or group.
  • Remainder: The number left over when a total cannot be shared exactly.
What is a remainder in Year 1 division?

A remainder is the part left over when you cannot share a number equally. For example, 7 shared between 2 is 3 each with 1 remainder.

How do I share objects equally between groups?

Give one object to each group in turn until you run out. If some objects are left and groups are equal, the extras are the remainder.

What is the difference between sharing and grouping?

Sharing splits items between people or sets. Grouping makes equal sets from a total. Both are ways to do division in Year 1.

Question 1
8 ÷ 2
2 ÷ 8
16 ÷ 8
12 ÷ 2
Sharing into groups of 2 is the same as dividing by 2

12 x 2 = 24
12 ÷ 4 = 3
12 x 3 = 36
12 ÷ 3 = 4
There are 12 stickers to be shared between 3 people, so 12 ÷ 3 = 4
