This gives the other half of some pairwork tasks.

The second half of a pairwork exercise, for partner B
Explanation:
I think this refers to the type of exercise where 2 partners A and B collaborate, each with their half of the instructions/data. In other words, I don't think it's the actual work that they've done, but the initial information they're given.

second half of work done by students in a 2 person group


Explanation:
Other half most probably refers to the second half, or second part of work -- not necessarily exactly half in a mathematical sense.

Pairwork refers to work done by 2 people who are "paired up" in a group of 2 to work together on a learning assignment.
