Grade 3 Division worksheet
from Gradelings · Name: ______________________
How to explain it
- Dividing shares things equally or makes equal groups.
- Think of the multiplication fact that goes with it.
- Ask: what times the divisor makes the number?
Example: 20 ÷ 4 = ? What times 4 makes 20? 4 × 5 = 20. Answer: 5
Question 1

2
Hint: 8 ÷ 4 = ? Count one row, or think 4 × ? = 8. 4 × 2 = 8.
Question 2
2 × 5 = 10. So what is 10 ÷ 2?
10 ÷ 2 = ?
- 2
- 4
- 6
- 5

Question 4
Which number sentence matches the story?
12 strawberries are shared equally onto 4 plates.
How many go on each plate?
