Master division with our 'Dividing by 10 Practice' worksheet for Grade 2. This comprehensive printable features 100 problems to help students build fluency and confidence in dividing by ten.
ABOUT THE WORKSHEET
Our "Dividing by 10 Practice" worksheet is specifically designed to help Grade 2 students master one of the most fundamental concepts in arithmetic: division by ten. This structured practice sheet contains 100 problems, providing ample repetition to ensure students move past basic understanding toward full fluency. By repeatedly solving problems like 80 ÷ 10 or 30 ÷ 10, children begin to recognize the pattern of removing the final zero, which is a crucial mental math shortcut. This worksheet is ideal for timed drills, daily warm-ups, or homework assignments, helping to bridge the gap between simple multiplication and inverse operations.

STEP-BY-STEP SOLVED EXAMPLES
Example 1: 80 ÷ 10 = ?
To solve this, ask yourself: "How many groups of 10 are in 80?" You can count by tens: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80. Since we counted 8 times, the answer is 8. A helpful shortcut is to simply remove the zero from the end of the number being divided.
Answer: 8
Example 2: 40 ÷ 10 = ?
Think about the multiplication fact: 10 x ? = 40. We know that 10 multiplied by 4 equals 40. Therefore, 40 divided by 10 must be 4. Using the "dropping the zero" trick, the number 40 becomes 4.
Answer: 4
Example 3: 100 ÷ 10 = ?
When dividing 100 by 10, we are looking for how many tens make up a hundred. Count by tens until you reach 100. It takes exactly 10 tens to make 100. Removing the last zero from 100 also gives us the result of 10.
Answer: 10
TEACHER & PARENT TIPS
When introducing division by 10 to second graders, start by using physical manipulatives like base-ten blocks. Show them how ten "tens" rods fit into one "hundreds" flat to visualize the concept. Encourage students to look for patterns; they will quickly notice that dividing a number ending in zero by 10 simply involves removing that zero. This builds great confidence for future lessons on place value and decimals.
