Class 2 Maths Worksheet: Division as Equal Sharing with Answers

Every sharing problem on this worksheet divides exactly, with nothing left over - that is deliberate, because Class 2 division means equal sharing only, with no ÷ sign and no remainders. Those ideas arrive together in later classes. This sheet practises recognising and completing equal sharing rather than any written division.

Here’s one done for you

Can 18 sweets be shared equally among 3 friends with nothing left over? Yes, because 3 times 6 is 18, so each friend gets exactly 6.

  1. 1)Without sharing them out, can 17 sweets be shared equally among 2 friends with nothing left over? How do you know?
  2. 2)Can 30 marbles be shared equally among 5 friends with nothing left over? How do you know?

  5. 5)Can 36 pencils be shared equally among 9 children with nothing left over? How do you know?
  6. 6)Which shares out evenly among 6 friends - 42 sweets or 44 sweets? How do you know?

  8. 8)If 20 marbles share equally among 4 friends, and the same 20 marbles are instead shared among 5 friends, will each friend still get the same number? How do you know?
  9. 9)Can 48 sweets be shared equally among 6 children with nothing left over? How do you know?
  10. 10)Which shares out evenly among 3 friends - 29 marbles or 30 marbles? How do you know?

Answers

  1. 1) No, because there is no whole number that gives exactly 17 when multiplied by 2 - 2 times 8 is 16 and 2 times 9 is 18, so 17 does not share out evenly.
  2. 2) Yes, because 5 times 6 is 30, so each friend gets exactly 6.
  3. 3) 24 toffees, because 4 times 6 is 24 exactly, but there is no whole number that 4 multiplies to make 25.
  4. 4) No, because 8 times 5 is 40 and 8 times 6 is 48, so 42 does not share out evenly among 8.
  5. 5) Yes, because 9 times 4 is 36, so each child gets exactly 4.
  6. 6) 42 sweets, because 6 times 7 is 42 exactly, while 44 is not a multiple of 6.
  7. 7) No, because 4 times 6 is 24 and 4 times 7 is 28, so 27 does not share out evenly among 4.
  8. 8) No, sharing among 4 gives 5 each (4 times 5 = 20), but sharing among 5 gives 4 each (5 times 4 = 20) - the number of friends changes how many each one gets.
  9. 9) Yes, because 6 times 8 is 48, so each child gets exactly 8.
  10. 10) 30 marbles, because 3 times 10 is 30 exactly, while 29 is not a multiple of 3.

Here’s one done for you

24 sweets are shared equally among 4 friends. Then each friend shares their share equally between 2 plates. First, 24 shared among 4 friends gives 6 each, because 4 times 6 is 24. Then 6 shared between 2 plates gives 3 each, because 2 times 3 is 6. So each plate gets 3 sweets.

  1. 1)48 marbles are shared equally among 4 friends. Then each friend shares their share equally between 2 pockets. How many marbles go in each pocket?
  2. 2)60 sweets are shared equally among 6 friends. Then each friend shares their share equally between their 2 children. How many sweets does each child get?
  3. 3)A packet has 45 pencils, shared equally among 5 children first, then each child shares their pencils equally into 3 pencil boxes. How many pencils in each box?

  5. 5)Fill in the missing number: 63 pencils shared equally among ___ children gives 7 each.
  6. 6)56 laddoos are shared equally among 7 plates. Then the laddoos on one plate are shared equally between 2 people. How many laddoos does each person get?

  10. 10)64 pencils are shared equally among 8 children. Then each child shares their pencils equally into 2 pencil cases. How many pencils in each case?

Answers

  1. 1) 6 (48 shared among 4 friends gives 12 each; then 12 shared between 2 pockets gives 6 each)
  2. 2) 5 (60 shared among 6 gives 10 each; then 10 shared between 2 children gives 5 each)
  3. 3) 3 (45 shared among 5 gives 9 each; then 9 shared into 3 boxes gives 3 each)
  4. 4) 24 shared among 8 (3 each), 24 shared among 6 (4 each), 24 shared among 4 (6 each), 24 shared among 2 (12 each)
  5. 5) 9
  6. 6) 4 (56 shared among 7 plates gives 8 each; then 8 shared between 2 people gives 4 each)
  7. 7) 3 (72 shared among 8 gives 9 each; then 9 shared into 3 bags gives 3 each)
  8. 8) Sharing among 5 friends gives more (8 each) than sharing among 8 friends (5 each), because sharing among fewer friends means each one gets a bigger part.
  9. 9) 4 (80 shared among 10 gives 8 each; then 8 shared between 2 siblings gives 4 each)
  10. 10) 4 (64 shared among 8 gives 8 each; then 8 shared into 2 cases gives 4 each)

While your child works

  • Use real objects - toffees, coins, pencils - for the first exercise before your child writes anything down; equal sharing is meant to be physical at this stage.
  • If a total will not share out exactly, that combination will not appear on a Class 2 worksheet - leftovers are a Class 4 idea, so do not introduce "remainder" language yet.
  • There is no ÷ sign anywhere here on purpose - say "shared equally" or "shared among", matching how the classroom phrases it.

Questions parents ask

About this worksheet

Why isn’t the ÷ symbol used anywhere on this worksheet?

Because Class 2 division is taught purely as equal sharing, with no symbol attached. The ÷ sign is introduced in Class 3, once sharing itself is completely secure.

What if a sharing problem doesn’t divide evenly?

It won’t appear here - every total on this worksheet has been chosen to share out exactly, since remainders are not a Class 2 topic.

Is this the same as formal division?

It is the concrete foundation for it. Your child is learning what division means through sharing before any symbol or written method is added in later classes.

Does this Class 2 Maths worksheet come with answers?

Yes. Every exercise has a full answer key, and it prints on its own page at the end rather than beside the questions - so you can hand your child the sheet and keep the answers back. Some exercises also show one question already worked out, with the method rather than just the result, which is the part most answer keys leave out.

Is there a free printable PDF?

Yes, and there is no sign-up, no email and no account. The download button at the top of the sheet gives you the whole thing - all 76 questions across 7 exercises, plus the answer key - laid out to print on A4.

How long does this worksheet take?

About 30 minutes for 76 questions, though that is a guide rather than a target. It is designed to be split: the exercises are ordered so stopping halfway still leaves a complete piece of work, which matters more than finishing at this age.

Can I use it if my child is in a different class?

Often, yes - these topics are taught across several years and schools vary in when they arrive. Judge by the questions rather than the class on the label. If the first exercise is a struggle the level below is the better start, and the same topic at other levels is linked further up this page.
