Think Multiplication to Divide by 6 and 7

Before handing out the worksheet, briefly introduce the concept with a short oral warm-up or a visual model on the board. Let students work through it independently, using a partner or small group only if they want to talk through their thinking, encouraging them to talk through their thinking: "What strategy are you using? How do you know that is right?" After completing the worksheet, review any missed problems together and discuss the reasoning rather than just the answer. For extra support, let students use manipulatives or draw pictures alongside the written problems. These division facts and missing factors worksheets work well as daily practice, homework, or a focused review activity.

Write the missing factor in a Think box, like 7 × 9 = 63, to solve 16 facts that divide by 6 and 7. The quotient is the answer when you divide. Division is an unknown factor problem: to find 24 ÷ 6, think 6 times what number is 24. The directions on the page read: Write the missing factor in the gray Think box. Then, write the quotient in the blue box. The two numbers are the same. An answer key is included.

Yes, both. We made it for 3rd Grade division, and the page works the same whether it lands on a kitchen table or a center rotation. At home, most families go through it together and talk the answers out loud, and that talking is where most of the learning happens with division facts and missing factors. In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.

They learn division as the opposite of multiplication. To find 28 divided by 4, a student thinks of the number that times 4 makes 28. The Think Multiplication sheets put a times fact beside every division fact.

A missing factor is the unknown number in an equation like 5 × ? = 30 or 28 ÷ ? = 7. Students find it by thinking of the matching multiplication fact, then write the division fact that goes with it.

Find the divisor in the left column, move across to the dividend, then look up to the top row. For 24 divided by 6, the top number is 4. Use a Multiplication Chart to Divide walks through these three steps.

They support 3.OA.B.6 (division as an unknown factor), 3.OA.A.4 (find the unknown number in an equation) and 3.OA.C.7 (fluently divide within 100).

Third graders learn that division means splitting into equal groups or finding how many groups. Per CCSS 3.OA.A.2, they should interpret whole-number quotients and solve division word problems within 100. They should understand division as the inverse of multiplication.

Start with sharing equally: give 12 items to 3 people, how many does each get? Use concrete objects, then pictures, then equations. Worksheets with visual division (circling equal groups) bridge the concrete-to-abstract gap effectively.

Fluent means a fact comes quickly and correctly without counting. The two minute drills hold 30 or 36 facts, and Division Fact Fluency Check, 40 Facts lists each missed fact to practice. CCSS 3.OA.C.7 expects fluency within 100 by the end of 3rd grade.
