Year 2 - Division

Turn your Year 2 maths lesson into an exciting outdoor adventure where pupils master commutativity and division by actively grouping, hunting for questions, and solving real-world problems using natural materials and chalk. Through hands-on games, relay races, and creative representations, children will confidently explore division and patterns in a fun, active way.

Lesson Plans

Exploring odd and even numbers

Challenge your pupils to become experts at identifying odd and even numbers in nature. Through active investigation and hands-on exploration, children will discover patterns, sort numbers, and apply their understanding to solve reasoning problems.

Learning objective:

To explore odd and even numbers.

Making equal groups through sharing

Transform your Year 2 maths lesson into an exciting outdoor adventure as students master division by sharing into equal groups. Through drawing grids and using natural resources, children actively solve division problems and solidify their understanding.

Learning objective:

To solve division problems by making equal groups through sharing.

Solving division problems by grouping

Ignite your Year 2 maths with this exciting outdoor lesson, empowering pupils to solve division problems by actively grouping natural resources. Children will tackle contextual problems, create nature creatures from their findings, and solidify their recall of division facts.

Learning objective:

To solve division problems by grouping.

Solving division problems in the 2, 5 & 10 times tables

Send your Year 2 class on an exciting outdoor maths adventure as they master division problems within the 2s, 5s, and 10s times tables. Pupils will actively hunt for questions, represent solutions using arrays and bar models with natural materials, and solidify their understanding in a lively relay race.

Learning objective:

To solve division problems in 2’s, 5’s & 10’s times tables.

Solving division problems in context

Challenge your Year 2 class with this exciting outdoor maths lesson, empowering them to solve division problems in real-world contexts. Students will actively demonstrate their understanding using natural materials, chalk, and various models as they work through progressively harder questions.

Learning objective:

To solve division problems in context.

Understanding commutativity

Help your Year 2 class master commutativity with this exciting outdoor maths lesson, as they actively explore multiplication and division through engaging word problems and target practice. Pupils will confidently demonstrate that multiplication can be done in any order, while division cannot, through hands-on investigations and a fun matching game.

Learning objective:

To understand commutativity.
