Division Basic Facts — Answer Key
Part A: Trace the Words
Trace each word carefully by following the dotted lines.
1. split
2. group
3. share
4. equal
5. half
6. divide
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. 10 stars shared by 2 = 5 each.
Sharing 10 stars between 2 people means each person gets the same amount. 5 stars plus 5 stars makes 10, so each gets 5.
2. 6 balls in 2 groups = 3 each.
Putting 6 balls into 2 equal groups gives 3 in each group, since 3 and 3 together make 6.
3. 4 pens shared by 2 = 2 each.
Sharing 4 pens between 2 people means handing them out one at a time until they are gone. Each person ends up with 2 pens.
4. 8 fish split in half = 4 each.
Splitting 8 fish in half makes two equal piles. 4 fish in each pile is fair, because 4 plus 4 is 8.
Part C: True or False?
Read each statement. Circle True or False.
1. 10 shared by 2 is 5.
True False
True. Sharing 10 between 2 people gives each one 5, because 5 plus 5 makes 10.
2. 6 split in half is 2.
True False
False. Half of 6 is 3, not 2, since 3 and 3 together make 6.
3. 4 shared by 2 is 2.
True False
True. 4 shared between 2 is 2 each, because 2 plus 2 makes 4.
