Division Part Whole Models Partitioning
Differentiated Worksheets for Dividing 2-Digit Numbers by 1-Digit Numbers
This set of worksheets provides scaffolded practice for students learning to divide 2-digit numbers by 1-digit numbers without regrouping. The worksheets are organized into 2 lessons/steps:
Step 1 - Divide a 2-digit number by a 1-digit number - no exchange
Step 2 - Divide a 2-digit number by a 1-digit number - flexible partitioning
The worksheets in each step use part-whole models, and are differentiated into 3 levels (with chili peppers):
Completely partitioned
Partially partitioned
Unpartitioned
This differentiation allows students to progress from more structured practice to independent partitioning as their division skills develop.
The 16 worksheets focus on familiar divisors like 2, 3, 4, and 8. These worksheets are ideal for building 2-digit division skills in Year 3. The scaffolding and progression help meet the needs of learners at various levels.
Another great year 3 resource for the next step in division: Divide a 2-digit number by a 1-digit number - with remainders
