Dividing by 10, 100 and 1000 - Worksheet

The 'Dividing by 10, 100 and 1000' worksheet is a comprehensive resource aimed at helping students enhance their proficiency in dividing whole numbers by powers of ten. The worksheet is structured to address different aspects of learning objectives, including fluency, reasoning, and problem-solving skills. Students are tasked with filling in missing numbers to complete calculations and using comparison signs to correctly complete mathematical statements. For instance, they might calculate that 1,600 divided by 10 equals 160, or determine the result of 2,400 divided by 100. The worksheet also includes practical word problems where students can apply their knowledge, such as figuring out the combined savings of two individuals given one has saved ten times less than the other.

Additional exercises require students to draw lines matching questions with their correct answers, reinforcing their understanding of the concept. For example, they might match the number that is ten times less than 6,300 with the correct answer. To foster deeper comprehension, students are presented with scenarios to analyse, such as whether a person has 100 times less money than another, and are prompted to explain their reasoning. The worksheet encourages students to engage with a variety of problems, from straightforward division to more complex reasoning questions that involve multiple steps and the application of mathematical concepts in real-world contexts.
