Division Facts 0-10 — Answer Key
Part A: Fix the Sentence
Each sentence has an error. Rewrite it correctly on the line.
1. Fix the sentence:
54 ÷ 9 = 5 because 9 times 5 is 54.
Corrected: 54 ÷ 9 = 6 because 9 times 6 is 54.
Nine times 5 only gives 45, not 54. You need one more group of 9 to reach 54, so 54 ÷ 9 = 6.
2. Fix the sentence:
28 ÷ 7 = 3 because 7 groups of 3 is 28.
Corrected: 28 ÷ 7 = 4 because 7 groups of 4 is 28.
Seven groups of 3 only make 21, which is short of 28. The quotient must be 4 because 7 x 4 = 28 exactly.
3. Fix the sentence:
72 ÷ 9 = 7 because 9 times 7 equals 72.
Corrected: 72 ÷ 9 = 8 because 9 times 8 equals 72.
Nine times 7 gives 63, which is smaller than 72. The correct quotient is 8 since 9 x 8 lands exactly on 72.
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. 45 ÷ 9 = 5
Skip-counting by nines — 9, 18, 27, 36, 45 — takes 5 steps to reach 45, so 45 ÷ 9 = 5.
2. 32 ÷ 4 = 8
Splitting 32 into 4 equal groups puts 8 in each group because 4 x 8 = 32.
3. 21 ÷ 3 = 7
Three threes, sixes, and nines give 9, 15, 21 — three groups of 7 reach 21, so 21 ÷ 3 = 7.
4. 80 ÷ 10 = 8
Dividing by 10 is the same as counting the tens in a number: 80 is made of 8 tens, so 80 ÷ 10 = 8.
Part C: True or False?
Read each statement. Circle True or False.
1. 42 ÷ 6 equals 7.
True False
True — 6 x 7 = 42, so splitting 42 into 6 equal groups gives 7 in each group.
2. Dividing any number by itself always equals 0.
True False
False — any non-zero number divided by itself equals 1, not 0. For example, 7 ÷ 7 = 1 because one group of 7 fits into 7.
3. 10 ÷ 5 gives the same answer as 5 x 2 equals 10.
True False
True — both facts belong to the same fact family. 10 ÷ 5 = 2, which is exactly the missing factor in 5 x 2 = 10.
