2nd Grade Division Worksheets
Division as Grouping

Having a solid foundation of what division is and how it works is the most important thing to teach children in 2nd grade.

There are also different ways of looking at division such as:

• division as grouping - how many groups of ... make ...
• division as sharing - what is ... shared between ...
• division as repeated subtraction
• division as the inverse of multiplication

The following sheets are all about division as grouping.

The sheets are all about dividing a set of objects into groups of a fixed number.

Example 1: 8 ÷ 4 = 2

The above example shows 8 trees divided (or planted) into groups of 4. There are two groups of trees, so 8 ÷ 4 = 2.

This gives us the sentence: 8 trees divided into groups of four makes 2 groups of trees.

This gives us the calculation: 8 ÷ 4 = 2

Example 2: 9 ÷ 3 = 3

The above example shows 9 fish divided (or swimming) into groups of 3.

This gives us the sentence: 9 fish divided into groups of three makes 3 groups of fish.

This gives us the calculation: 9 ÷ 3 = 3
