Division Sums Worksheet

Introduction:

The following maths worksheets are designed for students of class 3. The basic questions that are given in the first sheet, involve a slightly more complex maths concept, i.e. division. In this worksheet, instead of the sums being filled in the blanks they are in the form of basic maths problems.

We can see that in the given worksheet, attempting to solve all of the basic maths problems will actually give the student a rough idea about how division is performed.

Upon completing the first sheet, the students will start to understand the concept of answering basic maths problems (which include multiple statements)

The students will finally get the hang of 'dividing numbers by each other'

There is a list of 5 basic maths problems which is described in words given in the first sheet.

All of the basic maths problems included here have relatively simple calculations, but the challenge is to read the entire problem and then understand the statements one at a time.

The children will then be able to derive the solution if they have read and understood the basic maths problem carefully.

The 5 problems given in the first sheet are quite simplistic and are beginner-level problems. However they do require at least some critical analysis of each of the statements.

This is an exercise that will help all students who are learning basic maths concepts. Having the correct approach will enable them to learn something new in a relaxed systematic manner. Soon they will really start to see for themselves and understand 'the concepts' of basic maths like Division. The meaning of complex terms like quotient dividend and remainder for eg

These worksheets are designed with the idea of teaching the students who are still young children how to divide groups of numbers.

Instructions to solve the worksheet

The students are firstly expected to be asked to read a bunch of statements which is part of a basic maths problem. This basic maths problem is relatively about division and every problem from 1-5, has a couple of statements for the children to take apart and analyse.

For e.g., Q.1.) Divide 28 sandwiches among 8 friends. How many sandwiches will each of them receive? Number of sandwiches each friend gets = _____

Once this is done, they will find that this basic maths problem is not only easy to understand, but then solving the basic maths problem will also be done in a simple step by step fashion. Remember: It all is about solving the statements in a series of well thought of steps.

Sheet two,like in the other worksheets, is where the solutions can be found. In simpler words, the second sheet may also be called the 'answer key'.

Conclusion

So the challenge here is learning basic maths concepts like division. This involved analyses of the given statements, which can be done only after reading the problem carefully.

The children will start to understand the basic concepts of mathematics like dividing numbers.

The student will learn to properly refer to the answer sheet, not only for finding the right answer, but also for understanding the basic concepts of Division like quotient, dividend and remainder. They can use the answer key to check if the final solution and their initial explanations of the statements in the basic maths problem were accurate, which is part of usual practice.

It is by now very clear that these worksheets are intended for teaching basic maths concepts like division in an easy to learn fashion. It includes the numbers in a colourful font. This will attract their attention and keep them 'engaged' in their learning process.
