Fascinating Fact:

Odd leaves a remainder: 13 ÷ 2 = 6 r1. One spare crisp for the bowl.

In KS1 Maths, Year 2 pupils practise sharing and grouping in twos. Counting in twos links facts like 2 × 6 = 12 and 13 ÷ 2 = 6 r1, using pairs, arrays, and simple bar models.

Key Terms

Pair: Two things grouped together; pairs help with ×2 and ÷2.
Even number: A number that can be shared into two equal groups with none left over.
Remainder: What is left when numbers do not share equally, like r1 in 13 ÷ 2.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

How do I divide by 2 in Year 2?

Split the objects into two equal groups and count one group. For example, 12 ÷ 2 makes two groups of 6, so the answer is 6.

What does remainder mean in division for kids?

A remainder is the small amount left over when sharing equally. In 13 ÷ 2, each group gets 6 and 1 is left, so the answer is 6 r1.

How do I know if a number is even or odd?

Even numbers make perfect pairs and share by 2 with nothing left. Odd numbers leave one spare when shared by 2.

Question 1

What is 20 x 2?

Multiplying by 2 is the same as doubling a number

Question 2

What is the next number in this sequence: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, ?

The numbers are going up in twos

Question 3

Cars have 2 headlights. How many headlights will 5 cars have?

5 x 2 = 10

Question 4

I put 20 children into pairs. How many pairs can I make?

2, because 20 ÷ 10 = 2

5, because 20 ÷ 10 = 5

20, because 20 ÷ 2 = 20

10, because 20 ÷ 2 = 10

We also know that 10 x 2 = 20

Question 5

How many 2s are there in 28?

Counting up in 2s until you reach 28 is helpful, as is halving 20 and halving 8

Question 6

I know that 2 x 15 = 30. What else do I know?

30 x 2 = 15

2 x 15 = 20

30 x 15 = 2

30 ÷ 15 = 2

If 2 groups of 15 makes 30, then 30 divided into 15 groups will mean 2 in each group

Question 7

What is half of 60?

Finding half is the same as dividing by 2. Knowing 6 ÷ 2 = 3 helps with 60 ÷ 2 = 30

Question 8

Is 45 in the 2 times table?

No, because it is an odd number

Yes, because it is an even number

Yes, because it has a 4 at the beginning

No, because it is too big

Multiples of 2 end with 2, 4, 6, 8 or 0

Question 9

Doubling is the same as...

dividing by 2

halving

adding the number to itself

subtracting over and over

To double 10, you would add 10 to itself: 10 + 10 = 20

Question 10

Which is the odd fact out?

6 x 2 = 12

12 ÷ 6 = 2

12 x 2 = 6

12 ÷ 2 = 6

12 x 2 = 24 not 6!
