About the Division Worksheets

Division answers two kinds of question. Sharing: 12 cookies among 3 friends, how many each? Grouping: 12 cookies in bags of 4, how many bags? The lesson sheet shows both with the same 12 dots, and the equal groups sheet has students write the fact for a picture.

Division facts are multiplication facts turned around, so the three fact sets are grouped the same way as on the multiplication worksheets: 2s, 5s and 10s first, then 3s, 4s and 6s, then 7s, 8s and 9s. The sets are fixed, so a student can repeat a sheet and see the time come down.

The remainders sheet uses the form 17 ÷ 5 = 3 R 2. Two of the story problems then ask what the remainder means: 26 students in cars of 4 need 7 cars, not 6.

Deciding what a remainder means has two sheets of its own. Interpreting Remainders starts from one division, 26 ÷ 4 = 6 R 2, and three questions with three different answers: 7 cars are needed, 6 cartons are full, 2 cards are left over. In each story students divide, circle whether to add one, drop the remainder or use it as the answer, then write the answer with its unit. Remainder Word Problems asks three questions about the same numbers, then gives six stories with 2- and 3-digit numbers to work out on their own.

When students are ready for larger numbers, go on to the long division worksheets, which start with a lesson on the steps.

Frequently Asked Questions

What grade are these division worksheets for?
Third and fourth grade. Division facts are a 3rd grade standard, and division with remainders is taught in 4th grade.
What is a remainder?
The amount left over when a number does not divide evenly. 17 divided by 5 is 3 with a remainder of 2, because three 5s make 15 and 2 are left. The remainder is always smaller than the divisor.
How can a child learn division facts faster?
Use multiplication. For 42 divided by 6, ask "6 times what makes 42?" A child who knows the times tables can answer every division fact this way.
Do the worksheets have answer keys?
Yes. Every practice sheet is a two-page PDF with the answer key on the second page.
