Division Worksheets for Grade 3 — Free Printable PDFs
Generate free division worksheets for 3rd graders: problems that divide evenly, with dividends up to 100, plus an answer key on a separate page. A good bridge from sharing objects to written division, in class or at home.
What 3rd Graders Learn in Division
- Division as equal sharing and grouping
- Finding a quotient from the times tables: 35 ÷ 5 means "how many 5s make 35?"
- Relationship between multiplication and division (fact families)
- Noticing that some sharing problems leave a remainder
- Word problems: sharing equally, making groups
How to Use These Worksheets
- Click "Generate Grade 3 Division Worksheets": Arithmetic Drills opens with division (÷) selected and a Number Range Limit of 100.
- With this limit, no dividend is over 100 and every problem divides evenly. Divisors and quotients are at least 2, so there are no ÷ 1 problems. The limit applies to the dividend, so some problems go past the 10 × 10 facts, such as 96 ÷ 12 or 90 ÷ 45.
- For a first worksheet, choose a limit of 20 or 50 to keep the numbers smaller.
- Set the Number of Questions (up to 100), keep the answer key and click "Download PDF Worksheet".
- Ready for more? Switch to "Division with remainders" with 2-digit dividends.
Tips for Teaching Division in Grade 3
- Connect division to multiplication: if 3 × 4 = 12, then 12 ÷ 3 = 4 and 12 ÷ 4 = 3.
- Use concrete objects: share 12 counters equally among 3 groups.
- Start with dividing by 2, 5 and 10 before harder divisors.
- Have students check each answer with a multiplication; it is a habit worth building.
- Use real-life contexts: sharing snacks, dividing teams equally.
FAQ
What division facts should a 3rd grader know?
By the end of Grade 3, students should fluently multiply and divide within 100 (Common Core 3.OA.C.7). In practice, that means the division facts that go with the times tables up to 10 × 10.
How do I introduce division to a 3rd grader?
Start with equal sharing using physical objects. Then connect to multiplication fact families. Once the idea clicks, move to written practice with these worksheets and check them with the answer key.
Do the worksheets include remainders?
Not with this setting: every problem divides evenly. To introduce remainders, choose "Division with remainders" in the generator; dividends can have 2, 3 or 4 digits and divisors go from 2 to 9.
Are these worksheets free?
Yes. Generate and print as many division worksheets as you like at no cost. No account needed.
