Division Facts 1–12 – Trick or Treat Worksheets

Product description

From the author

Model equal sharing with paper candy and pumpkin buckets. Print the six-bucket page twice to make twelve buckets, then use the scripted 8 ÷ 4 example before the eight-equation activity.

A second worksheet has 36 division facts with dividends up to twelve. Four Halloween word problems ask students to write equations and show their work. Color and black-and-white versions and completed answers are supplied in the nineteen-page PDF.

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

Model division as sharing objects equally into groups using physical manipulatives
Solve division facts with divisors and dividends from 1 through 12
Translate Halloween sharing scenarios into division equations and solve them

Teaching tips

Print the bucket page twice per learner, as the file's educator note directs, so there are enough jack-o'-lantern squares for every equation
Model 8 ÷ 4 with the scripted steps first — the dealing-one-candy-at-a-time routine is written out word for word for you
Keep the cards available during the 36-fact page; its directions explicitly invite students to fall back on the manipulatives when stuck

Skills covered

Division as equal sharing — students deal candy cards into bucket cards one at a time and count the share per bucket.
Division fact fluency — a 36-equation page covers facts from 1 ÷ 1 to 12 ÷ 2, including identity and same-number facts (7 ÷ 7, 11 ÷ 11).
Word-problem translation — four scenarios (12 lollipops among 3 friends, 10 candy-corn packets among 5 grandkids) are written as equations and solved.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

How do the manipulatives model division?

Students set out buckets for the divisor and share the candy cards equally among them. The scripted example uses eight candies and four buckets to model 8 ÷ 4 = 2.
