How to approach this skill

Problem: Morgan shares 70 books equally among 7 groups. How many books are in each group?

Answer: 10

Strategy: Underline what is known, state what is being asked, and write one equation for each required step. This example supports the page objective: Solve sharing and grouping division situations with whole-number answers.

How to use this worksheet

  • Ask the learner to identify known quantities, the question, and a reasonable operation. For this division word problems set, begin without a timer.
  • Require an equation, labeled work, and a sentence that answers the question. Regenerate only when the learner is ready for another arrangement of the same objective.

Begin with the easy setting when the strategy is new, use standard for independent practice, and reserve challenge for a learner who can explain the method accurately.

Common mistakes to watch

  • Choosing an operation from a keyword without understanding the situation. Watch for this specifically during division word problems practice.
  • Giving an unlabeled number that does not answer the stated question. Use the worked correction as the next teaching example.

Use the answer key to find a pattern, then ask the learner to explain one corrected example rather than repeating an entire set immediately.
