Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Students solve division facts (for example 8÷2, 24÷4, 56÷8) and write each quotient as a spelled-out number word to complete a crossword grid.
Students apply division across an increasing range of divisors, from single-digit facts through two-digit divisors in the final Larger Division Numbers set.
Students self-check their division answers against the included answer key.
Teaching tips
Since every answer is written as a number word (for example 'Four' or 'Sixteen') rather than a digit, remind students to check spelling as well as math before filling in the grid.
Assign one crossword set per day across a week, moving from single-digit divisors in Set 1 to two-digit divisors in the final set, to build difficulty gradually.
Read the 'Did you know?' fact aloud before students start each puzzle as a quick warm-up hook.
Skills covered
Division fact fluency — students solve problems ranging from 8÷2 up to 324÷18 across six increasingly difficult sets (pages 2-7).
Number-word spelling — students write each quotient as a spelled-out word (for example 'Sixteen') rather than a digit to fit the crossword grid.
Self-checking — students verify their division answers against the shared answer key (page 8).
Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
Are the crossword answers written as digits or words?
As spelled-out number words (for example 'Four' or 'Sixteen'), so students practice both the division fact and its written form.
How does difficulty change across the six sets?
The sets progress from single-digit divisors in Basic Division up to two-digit divisors like 225÷15 and 324÷18 in the final Larger Division Numbers set.
