STEP-BY-STEP SOLVED EXAMPLES

To help your student get started, here are three examples solved using different mental strategies:

Example 1: Problem 14 (20 ÷ 2)

To solve 20 ÷ 2, ask the student: "What number plus itself equals 20?" Since 10 + 10 = 20, we know that 20 divided into two equal groups gives us 10. Therefore, 20 ÷ 2 = 10.

Example 2: Problem 22 (14 ÷ 2)

Think of this as sharing 14 items between 2 friends. If you give one to each person until you run out, each friend will have 7 items. This demonstrates that 14 ÷ 2 = 7.

Example 3: Problem 35 (10 ÷ 2)

Use the multiplication link: "2 times what equals 10?" Since 2 x 5 = 10, the answer to the division problem is 5. Thus, 10 ÷ 2 = 5.

TEACHER & PARENT TIPS

When introducing this worksheet, start by using physical manipulatives like blocks or coins to show the concept of "fair sharing." Encourage students to relate division to their knowledge of doubles in addition; if they know 8 + 8 = 16, they can easily recognize that 16 ÷ 2 = 8. For more advanced students, turn this into a timed "Mad Minute" challenge to see how many they can complete accurately in sixty seconds. This helps build the automaticity required for long division later in their academic journey.
