3RD GRADE INTRO TO DIVISION: 8 Skills-Boosting Practice Worksheets

This resource introduces students to division (splitting numbers into smaller, equal groups).  Students will also use math stories to describe division expressions.  Further, students will solve division word problems, and find the missing dividends or quotients in division equations.  Use these scaffolded math drills to teach and reinforce the fundamentals, or prep for test day.  

At the top of each drill is a mini-lesson followed by several Common Core designed, simulated test questions (including two-part and open response).  Worksheets contain tips to guide students, allowing you more time to work with struggling students (drills can also be printed without scaffolding).

ALIGNED WITH 3RD GRADE COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS

3.OA.A.2:  Interpret whole-number quotients of whole numbers, e.g., interpret 56 ÷ 8 as the number of objects in each share when 56 objects are partitioned equally into 8 shares, or as a number of shares when 56 objects are partitioned into equal shares of 8 objects each. For example, describe a context in which a number of shares or a number of groups can be expressed as 56 ÷ 8.

3.OA.A.3:  Use multiplication and division within 100 to solve word problems in situations involving equal groups, arrays, and measurement quantities, e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.

3.OA.A.4:  Determine the unknown whole number in a multiplication or division equation relating three whole numbers. For example, determine the unknown number that makes the equation true in each of the equations 8 × ? = 48, 5 = _ ÷ 3, 6 × 6 = ?  Understand properties of multiplication and the relationship between multiplication and division.
