STEP-BY-STEP SOLVED EXAMPLES

Example 1: 15 ÷ 5 = ?

To solve this, think: "How many groups of 5 are in 15?" If you skip-count by fives—5, 10, 15—you find it takes 3 steps to reach 15. Therefore, 15 ÷ 5 = 3.

Example 2: 40 ÷ 5 = ?

Use multiplication to find the missing factor. Ask yourself, "5 times what equals 40?" Since 5 x 8 = 40, the division fact is 40 ÷ 5 = 8.

Example 3: 25 ÷ 5 = ?

Imagine sharing 25 items equally among 5 friends. Each person would receive exactly 5 items because 5 multiplied by 5 is 25. Thus, 25 ÷ 5 = 5.

TEACHER & PARENT TIPS

For young learners, visualizing division is key. Use physical manipulatives like counters, blocks, or even coins to demonstrate how a larger number can be partitioned into equal groups of five. Encourage students to skip-count by fives to reach the target number; this reinforces the link between multiplication and division. You can also turn this worksheet into a fun "Minute Math" challenge to help build automaticity. Consistent practice with these core facts will make more complex math concepts, such as long division and fractions, much easier as students progress.
