Fascinating Fact:

Check with multiplication: Did 18 ÷ 6 = 3? Try 3 × 6. It makes 18, so the division is correct.

In KS1 Maths, Year 2 pupils divide by sharing and grouping into equal sets. Arrays and number lines help you see the groups. You can check every division by using the matching multiplication.

Key Terms

Division: Splitting a number into equal groups, for example 12 ÷ 3 = 4.
Equal groups: Groups that each contain the same amount, like four groups of 3.
Array: A neat arrangement in rows and columns that shows multiplication and division links.

Warm up with quick sharing and grouping: try the Division Game before you start the quiz.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

What is division in Year 2?

Division means sharing or grouping equally. For example, 12 sweets shared equally between 3 friends is 12 ÷ 3 = 4 sweets each.

How do I check a division answer?

Use the inverse. If 18 ÷ 6 = 3, then 3 × 6 should make 18. If it does, your division is correct.

What is the difference between sharing and grouping?

Sharing splits items between people or boxes. Grouping makes equal groups first, then counts how many groups fit into the total.

Question 1

Which 'family' of facts is correct?

2 x 3 = 5
6 x 2 = 3
6 ÷ 5 = 3
2 ÷ 3 = 6

4 x 5 = 20
5 x 4 = 20
20 ÷ 4 = 5
20 ÷ 5 = 4

2 x 8 = 14
8 x 2 = 14
18 ÷ 2 = 8
18 ÷ 8 = 2

4 x 9 = 50
9 x 4 = 50
55 ÷ 4 = 9
55 ÷ 9 = 4

If the multiplication facts are correct, the division facts should use the same numbers

Question 2

What is the opposite, or inverse of multiplication?

Subtraction

Addition

Multiplication

Division

Division and multiplication are the inverse of each other, as are addition and subtraction

Question 3

Which division calculation could you use to check this is correct:
5 x 6 = 30

6 ÷ 30 = 5

6 ÷ 5 = 30

30 ÷ 5 = 5

30 ÷ 5 = 6

In the division fact, the largest number always comes first

Question 4

What could you do to check this calculation is correct:
9 x 5 = 45

Multiply 45 by 9

Divide 45 by either 9 or 5

Multiply 45 by 5

Find the total of all 3 numbers

The calculation is correct, but checking it with either division would prove it

Question 5

Which two division facts can be found from knowing that 8 x 5 = 40?

5 ÷ 5 = 8 and 8 ÷ 8 = 5

40 ÷ 5 = 8 and 40 ÷ 8 = 5

40 ÷ 40 = 8 and 5 ÷ 5 = 40

8 ÷ 5 = 40 and 5 ÷ 8 = 40

The largest number comes first, followed by either of the smaller numbers to give the other as the answer

Question 6

Seven groups of 2 makes 14 so 14 divided into groups of 2 would make...

28 groups

14 groups

2 groups

7 groups

If 7 x 2 = 14, then 14 ÷ 2 = 7 or 14 ÷ 7 = 2

Question 7

Which number is missing?
90 ÷ ? = 10

109

9 x 10 = 90 so 90 ÷ 9 = 10

Question 8

Which number is missing?
? ÷ 5 = 7

5 x 7 = 35 so 35 ÷ 5 = 7

Question 9

Which division calculation could you use to check this is correct:
10 x 5 = 50

50 ÷ 50 = 10

50 ÷ 5 = 10

10 ÷ 5 = 50

10 ÷ 50 = 5

You could also use 50 ÷ 10 = 5

Question 10

If 10 groups of 3 is 30...

then 30 multiplied by 30 will give 10

then 30 divided by 30 will give 3

then 30 multiplied by 3 will give 10

then 30 divided into groups of 3 will give 10 groups

A division 'cancels out' the multiplication as it is the opposite
