Division Basic Facts — Answer Key
Part A: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. 6 apples shared by 2 = 3.
Sharing 6 apples between 2 people means each person gets the same amount. 3 apples plus 3 apples is 6, so each gets 3.
2. 8 crayons in 2 boxes = 4 each.
Putting 8 crayons into 2 boxes evenly means filling each box with the same amount. 4 in each box adds up to 8.
3. 10 seeds in 2 pots = 5 each.
When 10 seeds are planted equally in 2 pots, each pot gets the same number. 5 seeds plus 5 seeds is 10, so each pot has 5.
4. 4 treats shared by 2 dogs = 2.
Two dogs sharing 4 treats fairly means each dog gets the same amount. 2 plus 2 is 4, so each dog gets 2 treats.
5. 2 shoes for 2 feet = 1 each.
You have 2 feet and 2 shoes, so each foot gets one shoe. Pairing them up one to one gives 1 shoe per foot.
6. 6 eggs in 2 nests = 3 each.
Two nests holding 6 eggs equally means each nest has the same number. 3 eggs in each nest adds up to 6.
7. 8 socks in 2 piles = 4 each.
Splitting 8 socks into 2 even piles puts 4 socks in each pile, because 4 plus 4 makes 8.
8. 10 berries shared by 2 = 5.
Sharing 10 berries between 2 people means each person gets 5, since 5 and 5 together make 10.
9. 4 wheels on 2 bikes = 2 each.
Each bike needs the same number of wheels, and 4 wheels split between 2 bikes gives 2 wheels per bike.
Part B: Matching
Match each item on the left to the correct answer on the right.
1. Match each item to its correct answer.
6 shared by 2
→ 3
2
8 shared by 2
→ 4
3
10 shared by 2
→ 5
4
4 shared by 2
→ 2
5
Sharing by 2 means splitting into two equal piles every time. 6 splits into 3 and 3, 8 splits into 4 and 4, 10 splits into 5 and 5, and 4 splits into 2 and 2.
