Division Basic Facts — Answer Key
Part A: Trace the Words
Trace each word carefully by following the dotted lines.
1. share
2. equal
3. divide
4. group
5. split
6. half
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. 6 toys shared by 2 kids = 3 each.
If 2 kids share 6 toys fairly, you give one toy to each kid until they are gone. Each kid ends up with 3 toys, since 3 plus 3 makes 6.
2. 4 grapes split in half = 2 each.
Splitting 4 grapes in half means making 2 equal piles. Putting 2 grapes in each pile uses up all 4, so each side gets 2.
3. 2 cookies shared by 2 = 1 each.
Sharing 2 cookies between 2 people means handing one cookie to each person. There are just enough cookies, so each gets 1.
4. 8 blocks in 2 groups = 4 each.
Putting 8 blocks into 2 equal groups means each group needs the same amount. 4 blocks plus 4 blocks makes 8, so each group has 4.
Part C: True or False?
Read each statement. Circle True or False.
1. 6 shared by 2 is 3.
True False
True. Sharing 6 between 2 means making two equal piles of 3, because 3 and 3 together make 6.
2. 4 shared by 2 is 3.
True False
False. Sharing 4 between 2 gives 2 in each pile, not 3, because 2 and 2 make 4.
3. 8 split in half is 4.
True False
True. Splitting 8 in half means two equal groups of 4, since 4 and 4 together make 8.
