Division
Written Calculation (Abstract)
12 ÷ 3 = 4
12 – 3 – 3 – 3 – 3 = 0
12 can be grouped into 4 groups of 3.
Find the inverse of multiplication and division sentences by creating four linking number sentences.
3 x 5 = 15
5 x 3 = 15
15 ÷ 5 = 3
15 ÷ 3 = 5
Year 2 National Curriculum Objectives
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 two numbers can be done in any order (commutative) and division of one 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.
