Divide by Twos With These Free Printable Division Worksheets
Dividing by 1 is a pretty simple concept for the students to grasp. For example, 6 divided by 1 is six because you need six individual things to make up a group of six. When you get into the 2s and 3s and higher numbers, however, that is where the confusion often begins. We aim to make the transition to division as easy as possible with this helpful division worksheet to teach students to divide by two. The numbers are kept small to help beginners; they only go up to 20. They’re also consecutive starting from 4 and up to make this concept easy to understand. In addition to the worksheet, your students may need hands on items for a while to help them work out their problems. This is easy to do; bundles of chopsticks, pencils or pipe cleaners are particularly useful. In this case, you’ll bundle your items in pairs. Ask the students how many pairs (or groups of two) it takes to get the big number. For example, 8 divided by 2 is four because it takes four of the pairs to make 8. Obviously, you can’t do this with very large numbers, but by using this technique with the smaller numbers, the students will be better prepared to grasp more abstract concepts such as 88 divided by 2.
