Explain how times table facts can help to find the quotient (2 times table)
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can explain how 2 times table facts can help to find the number of groups or the number in each group.
Key learning points
- When we are dividing by 2, you can use the 2 times table to find the number of groups or the number in each group.
- 3 twos are equal to 6, so 6 divided into groups of 2 is equal to 3
- 3 twos are equal to 6, so 6 divided into 2 groups is equal to 3 in each group.
Keywords
Divisor - The divisor is what we are dividing by.
Divide - To split into equal parts or groups.
Common misconception
Children misunderstanding the difference between partitive and quotative division when discussing the problems.
Although they will result in the correct answers, the calculation itself will not accurately reflect the problem. Ensure children initially describe each problem and represent it visually so that they can see whether they are grouping or sharing.
Teacher tip
As mentioned, have 2 times table charts available for children so that they can focus of identifying which facts they need to use, rather than being fully dependent on fluency or using larger numbers of counters at this early stage.
