Part A: Multiple Choice
Circle the correct answer for each question.
1. 12 cookies are shared equally among 4 friends. How many cookies does each friend get?
A) 2
B) 3
C) 4
D) 6
12 ÷ 4 = 3. Share 12 cookies equally among 4 friends: each gets 3 cookies.
2. If 3 x 5 = 15, what is 15 ÷ 3?
A) 3
B) 4
C) 5
D) 6
15 ÷ 3 = 5. Because 3 x 5 = 15, the related division fact is 15 ÷ 3 = 5.
3. There are 20 grapes to put into 5 equal groups. How many grapes are in each group?
A) 3
B) 4
C) 5
D) 10
20 ÷ 5 = 4. Share 20 grapes equally into 5 groups: each group gets 4.
4. Which number sentence is in the same fact family as 2 x 4 = 8?
A) 8 ÷ 3 = 2
B) 8 ÷ 2 = 4
C) 8 ÷ 5 = 1
D) 8 ÷ 1 = 8
8 ÷ 2 = 4 is in the same fact family as 2 x 4 = 8. Both use the numbers 2, 4, and 8.
Part B: Fill in the Missing Number
Write the missing number to complete each number sentence.
1. 20 ÷ 5 = 4
20 ÷ 5 = 4. Think: 5 x 4 = 20, so the missing dividend is 20.
2. 25 ÷ 5 = 5
25 ÷ 5 = 5. Think: what times 5 = 25? That is 5.
3. 18 ÷ 3 = 6
18 ÷ 3 = 6. Think: 3 x 6 = 18, so the missing dividend is 18.
4. 16 ÷ 4 = 4
16 ÷ 4 = 4. Think: what times 4 = 16? That is 4.
5. 18 ÷ 2 = 9
18 ÷ 2 = 9. Think: 2 x 9 = 18, so the missing dividend is 18.
