Skill: Using arrays to divide into equal rows
Teaching tips and what to try next
A first division page for third graders who already describe arrays as rows of equal groups. Covering all but one row with a strip of paper helps children who keep counting every dot. Build the multiplication side in Arrays and Repeated Addition, then practice the facts without pictures in Division Facts 2-5 or Multiplication and Division Fact Families.
10 versions, each with its own answer key
Same skill and layout, a fresh set of problems in every version, so children can keep practicing without repeating a page. Problems are not repeated between versions unless a skill has only a small number of possible problems (for example, the addition facts within 10).

About this worksheet
Arrays give third graders a picture of what division means. When 24 dots are arranged in 4 equal rows, the number of dots in each row is 24 divided by 4. This third-grade worksheet uses dot arrays to connect the picture to the division sentence.
The page has eight arrays with 2 to 6 rows and 2 to 8 dots in each row. Under each array, a sentence tells how many dots there are and how many equal rows they make. Children count the dots in one row and write that number to finish the division sentence, such as 24 ÷ 4 = 6. There are thirty-five possible arrays of this size, and the ten versions are planned so that every one appears before any array repeats.
How to use it: start with one array and ask, "How many dots in all? How many rows? How many in each row?" Then read the division sentence together. Show that the same array also tells a multiplication fact: 4 rows of 6 is 24. This link between multiplication and division is the main idea of third-grade division. If your child counts the wrong way, by columns instead of rows, use a finger to trace one row from left to right. Building a few arrays with coins or blocks on the table makes the idea even clearer.
The answer key shows the number for each array. For arrays with multiplication, try our Arrays and Repeated Addition worksheet. To practice the facts, try our Division Facts 2-5 worksheet.
