What kids do
“Use the rules in the box. Put a check in each column the number can be divided by with no remainder.”
Printed on the sheet:
- 2: the last digit is 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8
- 3: the digits add up to a multiple of 3
- 5: the last digit is 0 or 5
- 9: the digits add up to a multiple of 9
- 10: the last digit is 0
Teacher tip
Ask kids to test their own birth year or address number against the rules.
How to use it
- Remind kids that every division fact has a multiplication partner, and say a few pairs out loud first.
- Let kids use counters and paper plates for the first few problems.
- Do the first problem together under a document camera, then let kids finish on their own.
Watch for
Remainders bigger than the divisor. That means one more group fits.
Talk about it
- What multiplication fact helped you with this one?
- Which problem was the hardest? What made it hard?
Take it further
Write a division story where the remainder changes the answer, like buses for a field trip.
