3rd Grade Mixed Divisors Division Practice Worksheet: 6 Problems
Changing the divisor in every problem keeps children alert. This 3rd grade mixed divisors division practice worksheet has six problems, labeled a to f: 20 ÷ 1, 33 ÷ 3, 40 ÷ 5, 54 ÷ 9, 50 ÷ 2 and 70 ÷ 10. The instruction is only three words, "Divide the following". Each problem has an answer line, and a large grid space below it leaves plenty of room for working. A girl balancing on one leg in a yoga pose smiles at the top of the page. Page two solves every problem in a bracket and writes the result on a "So, ..." line.
Three facts, three stretches
Three problems are true division facts: 40 ÷ 5 = 8, 54 ÷ 9 = 6 and 70 ÷ 10 = 7. The other three give answers above 10, namely 20, 11 and 25. That goes past the title "1 - 10", although each one is still a division with no remainder.
Page two uses the long division method for all six, even for 20 ÷ 1. However, most schools teach this method only in fourth grade. In item a, the key also writes a middle line of "00", which can puzzle a young reader.
At the table: a shortcut for each one
Most of these problems have a quicker path than the bracket. Dividing by 1 changes nothing, so 20 ÷ 1 = 20. Dividing by 2 means halving, so 50 ÷ 2 = 25. For 33 ÷ 3, your child can split the tens and the ones: 30 ÷ 3 = 10 and 3 ÷ 3 = 1.
Accept any method, provided the answer is right. Then ask your child to multiply back, for example 25 × 2 = 50, to check each quotient.
After the page: share the snack
Take 20 raisins and ask your child to share them among 2 people, then among 5, then among 10. Each time, count one share and say the division out loud. In the end, check the six answers against the answer key on page two.
