What kids do

“Circle groups of the size shown. How many groups did you make? Write the answer.”

Printed on the sheet:

  1. 10 dots. Circle
  2. 8 dots. Circle groups of 4.
  3. 24 dots. Circle
  4. 4 dots. Circle groups of 2.
  5. 25 dots. Circle
  6. 6 dots. Circle groups of 2.

Sample problems

  • 8÷4 =
  • 4÷2 =
  • 6÷2 =

Teacher tip

Hand out counters so kids can physically make the groups first. Circling on paper is the second step.

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

Share a bag of crackers fairly in small groups and record the division sentence.
