Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a set of division word problems tailored to eighth-grade students, with scenarios that integrate mathematics into everyday life and work-related situations. The problems ask students to calculate various quantities, such as the fuel efficiency of a car, the cost per action figure in a pack, the number of cookie trays needed for baking, and the capacity of a truck for carrying cargo. Each question is designed to challenge students’ understanding of division in different contexts, from calculating cost per item to determining the average speed in a bike race. The worksheet is visually supported by thematic illustrations, including those of a car, action figures, and a truck, to help visualize the problems.

The worksheet aims to enhance students’ division skills by applying mathematical concepts to more complex real-world problems appropriate for their grade level. It teaches students to solve problems involving rates, averages, and unit prices, reinforcing their ability to perform division and associated mathematical operations. The problems are also designed to improve students’ analytical thinking by interpreting real-life scenarios that require division. Moreover, the worksheet encourages students to understand the practical applications of division in various aspects of daily life, from personal budgeting to logistics and event planning.
