Help Year 2 students understand two important meanings of division: sharing a collection equally among a known number of groups and making equal groups of a known size. This complete unit begins with colour displays and practical mats, then moves through drawings, division equations, classification tasks, story problems and assessment.

The 33-page unit plan provides a coherent week of teaching across concrete, pictorial and symbolic representations. Teachers can introduce and revisit the concept with an editable 18-slide presentation, check understanding with an editable 10-question quiz, run two hands-on mat activities and a division game, and use five named worksheet resources for supported, core and extension practice. A two-page assessment, nine matching answer pages and a five-level rubric support efficient checking and reporting.

LEARNING FOCUS

• Partition a collection by sharing one item at a time among equal groups.

• Make as many equal groups as possible when the group size is known.

• Distinguish “shared among” from “groups of”.

• Represent concrete and pictorial models with division equations.

• Solve and explain exact-division story problems.

• Connect sharing into two equal groups with the language of halves.

CLASSROOM USE

Use the presentation for explicit teaching and worked examples, the colour mats for guided groups and maths centres, the game for repeated practice, and the worksheets for supported or independent work. The assessment and rubric provide an end-of-unit evidence set. The sequence is suitable for approximately 5–7 lessons across one teaching week.
