3rd Grade Dividing by Seven Worksheet: 6 Exact Quotients
The 7 times table is often the hardest one for children to remember. This 3rd grade dividing by seven worksheet uses it backward, through six problems. The numbers to divide are 35, 49, 14, 28, 21 and 77. Each one is a multiple of 7, so every quotient is exact and nothing is left at the bottom of the bracket. A friendly cartoon shark swims along the bottom of the page. The answer key on page two shows the full bracket for each problem, with the quotient written on the line too.
Think of the times table fact
For each item, children look for the 7 times table fact that lands on the number. In b, 7 × 7 = 49, so 49 ÷ 7 = 7. In c, 7 × 2 = 14, so the answer is 2. These division facts are the heart of the page.
The last item, 77 ÷ 7, uses two steps of the long division method. First, 7 tens shared by 7 give 1 ten. Then the 7 ones are brought down and give 1 more. The answer is 11, and the key writes the middle step as "07".
At the table: multiply back to check
After each division, your child multiplies the answer by 7. If 28 ÷ 7 = 4, then 4 × 7 should give 28 again. This check takes only a few seconds, and it catches a wrong fact at once, before the slip spreads to the next problem.
Sevens show up less often in daily life than twos, fives or tens, so give your child a little extra time on this page. A row of seven fingers drawn on scrap paper can help with counting. Long division is a fourth grade skill, so praise the reasoning as much as the result.
After the page: days of the week
A week has 7 days, which makes a great model. Ask your child how many weeks fit in 21 days, then in 35 days, using a calendar to check. Point out that these match items e and a on the page. Finish by comparing all six answers with the key on page two.
