📚 Part 1: Warm-up — Division Facts for 8

WALT: We Are Learning To divide numbers by 8 using number facts and times tables.

Success criteria: I can match divisions with their answers for eights and explain one method I used (equal groups, times tables or repeated halving).

Differentiation: Support: use counters or a times-table chart. Challenge: explain why 8 × 7 = 56 using arrays.

1. What is 16 ÷ 8?

2. What is 40 ÷ 8?

3. What is 56 ÷ 8?

4. Which shows a division that equals 8?

64 ÷ 8

8 ÷ 64

16 ÷ 2

✏️ Part 2: Short Answers, Working & Activities

WALT: We Are Learning To use dividing by 8 in problem solving and show our working clearly.

Success criteria: I can write a correct answer, show steps for one division, and solve a real-life sharing problem using eights.

Differentiation: Support: use physical counters or drawing to make equal groups of 8. Extension: find a decimal or remainder version and explain.

5. Calculate: 24 ÷ 8 = _______

6. Show your working: 72 ÷ 8 = _______ (write steps)

7. Word problem: Ms Lee packs 56 stickers into small packets. Each packet holds 8 stickers. How many packets does she make?

8. Challenge: Find 50 ÷ 8. Write the quotient and remainder. Then write the answer as a mixed number.

Group activity (hands-on): In pairs, use counters or draw to share 32 counters into groups of 8. Draw the groups below and write a sentence to explain how you know each group has 8.

Extension activity for advanced learners: Try dividing decimals by 8 (for example 3.2 ÷ 8). Explain a strategy using times tables or converting to fractions.
