Division Strategies Using Arrays
Help organise equal groups for a busy Saturday market. Use arrays to show equal rows and columns, and write a division sentence for each task. An array can be turned to show the same total in a different way.
Build equal arrays
Think about how many rows and how many items are in each row.
1.A fruit seller packs 24 apples equally into 4 baskets. Use the array to work out how many apples go in each basket. Write the matching division sentence.
2.The baker arranges 18 bread rolls in 3 equal rows on a tray. How many rolls are in each row? Draw or describe the array and write a division sentence.
3.Kai has 30 small seed packets arranged into 5 equal rows. How many packets are in each row? Choose the correct answer, then write the division sentence.
- 5 packets in each row
- 6 packets in each row
- 7 packets in each row
Use what you know
Turn arrays around, break a total into friendly parts, or use multiplication facts to find the quotient.
4.A stall has 28 mandarins to share equally among 4 paper bags. Complete: 28 ÷ 4 = . Use the fact 4 × = 28 to check.
5.A florist puts 32 flowers into 8 equal bunches. Use a related multiplication fact to solve 32 ÷ 8. Explain how the fact helps.
6.A tray has 6 rows of 5 cupcakes. Complete both division facts for this array: 30 ÷ 6 = ____ and 30 ÷ 5 = ____. What changes when the array is turned around?
7.Tess says, “24 ÷ 6 is 5 because 6 × 5 is close to 24.” Is Tess correct? Use an array or multiplication check to explain and give the correct answer.
8.The market needs 36 carrots packed equally into 6 crates. Write a multiplication fact that helps, then solve the division problem.
9.Challenge: Choose a total from 20, 24, or 36 and divide it equally into 3 or 4 groups. Draw an array, write the division sentence, and check using multiplication.
