Divide Arrays

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is another installment from the “Division using Models” series, designed to help students understand division through visual representation. It contains arrays of different icons, such as emojis, animals, and other objects, arranged in rows and columns. Students are instructed to observe each array and write the corresponding division sentence that the array represents. This task requires students to count the total number of items in each array and determine how they are grouped to form a division sentence.

The worksheet’s objective is to solidify the students’ understanding of arrays as a visual tool for representing division. By translating the visual arrays into division sentences, students practice the concept of division as an arrangement of items into equal groups, and how many items are in each group. It also encourages students to recognize patterns and use them to find solutions to division problems. This is a foundational math skill that aids in the development of multiplication and division fluency, as arrays are a common visual aid for both operations.
