3rd Grade Sorting Division Facts by Quotient Worksheet: 4 Sets

The big idea of this sorting practice is that many divisions share one quotient. In set c, 60 ÷ 10, 12 ÷ 2 and 30 ÷ 5 all equal 6, so they go in the same box. In set d, 4 ÷ 2, 6 ÷ 3 and 10 ÷ 5 all equal 2.

Two boxes stay empty on purpose: "Equal to 1" in set b and "Equal to 8" in set c. However, an empty box can puzzle a child, who may think a fact is missing. Explain beforehand that some boxes are traps.

Ask your child to write the quotient in small digits above each division before sorting it. For example, 27 ÷ 3 gets a small 9, and 45 ÷ 5 gets a 9 too. As a result, the sorting step becomes quick and calm.

The worked example on page two uses phrases like "placed on the box" and "Let's first of all", which sound a little odd. Read it with your child anyway, because the method is clear and every box is correct.

Write a few numbers, like 2, 5 and 9, on three sheets of paper. Then give your child sticky notes with divisions such as 18 ÷ 2 or 25 ÷ 5. Your child sticks each note on the right sheet, which links each fact family to its quotient. Last of all, check page one against the answer key.
