This Year 2 multiplication and division block introduces pupils to key concepts that underpin later times tables and calculation work. Through practical activities, visual models and structured discussion, pupils learn how multiplication and division are connected and how equal groups can be represented in different ways.
The lessons support pupils as they make equal groups, identify unequal groups, use repeated addition and create arrays. These representations help pupils develop conceptual understanding before moving on to more formal multiplication and division methods later in the curriculum.
Aligned with the White Rose small steps and the Year 2 National Curriculum, this block supports whole-class teaching, guided practice and independent maths learning.
If you are looking for Year 2 multiplication worksheets, Year 2 division worksheets, Year 2 arrays worksheets or a complete Year 2 multiplication and division unit, this block provides the planning, slides and differentiated activities needed to teach the sequence with confidence.
