Worksheet Overview

In this activity, we will be looking at sharing things equally into two groups. 

 

When we share things equally into two groups, this means that each group must have exactly the same number.

 

Here we have 6 apples, they have been shared equally between 2 plates. 

There are 3 apples on each plate. 

This means that 6 shared equally between 2 is 3. 

 

 6 apples shared out  

 

We can share equally into two groups using arrays. 

 

Below, we have an array of stars that have been split into two equal groups. 

We started with 6 stars, and they have been shared equally between 2 groups, this is written like this: 6 ÷ 2

 

So, how many stars are in each group? 

There are 3 stars in each group. 

This will be written: 6 ÷ 2 = 3 

 

6 stars in 2 groups

 

Ok, shall we have a go at some questions?
