TheSchoolRun.com closure date
As we informed you a few months ago, TheSchoolRun has had to make the difficult decision to close due to financial pressures and the company has now ceased trading. We had hoped to keep our content available through a partnership with another educational provider, but this provider has since withdrawn from the agreement.
As a result, we now have to permanently close TheSchoolRun.com. However, to give subscribers time to download any content they’d like to keep, we will keep the website open until 31st July 2025. After this date, the site will be taken down and there will be no further access to any resources. We strongly encourage you to download and save any resources you think you may want to use in the future.
In particular, we suggest downloading:
- Learning packs
- All the worksheets from the 11+ programme, if you are following this with your child
- Complete Learning Journey programmes (the packs below include all 40 worksheets for each programme)
You should already have received 16 primary school eBooks (worth £108.84) to download and keep. If you haven’t received these, please contact us at [email protected] before 31st July 2025, and we will send them to you.
We are very sorry that there is no way to continue offering access to resources and sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused.
Sharing method for division
How is division taught in Year 2?
In Year 2, children learn division through a variety of engaging and interactive methods:
Story Problems
Division is made meaningful through real-life story problems. For instance, if there are 20 apples and 5 baskets, children figure out how many apples go in each basket if shared equally. This helps them see the practical use of division.
Linking to Multiplication
Teachers show how division is the opposite of multiplication. If 5 × 2 = 10, then 10 ÷ 2 = 5 and 10 ÷ 5 = 2. Understanding this relationship reinforces both concepts.
Use of Number Lines
Number lines help children learn division through repeated subtraction. Starting at 12 and subtracting 3 repeatedly until reaching 0 shows how many times 3 fits into 12. This visual method makes the concept clear.
How will this Year 2 division worksheet help your child?
This teacher-created resource will provide your child with a fun activity that will reinforce what they're learning and build their confidence with division. This is a pictorial division exercise with a clear example of how to visualise a story problem and work out division questions.
