The "Divide by 8" worksheet is an engaging resource for children to practice their multiplication and division facts for the 3, 4, and 8 times tables, as outlined in the National Curriculum objectives. The worksheet provides a variety of exercises to help students consolidate their understanding of division by forming equal groups and using grouping strategies. To assist with these tasks, differentiated sheets and teaching slides are available, along with a list of key vocabulary such as 'division', 'equal groups', 'grouping', 'represent', and 'inverse operations'. Through the use of concrete and pictorial representations, children can check their answers by applying their knowledge of inverse operations. Additionally, the worksheet includes word problems that require students to divide by 8, with key numbers highlighted for emphasis.

To further develop fluency and precision, the worksheet presents real-life scenarios, such as dividing children into teams for a relay race, sharing flowers into vases, or distributing pencils among groups. For instance, one problem asks how many children would be in each team if 16 children were split equally into 8 teams. Another problem involves sharing 40 grapes equally between 8 children. The worksheet encourages children to cut out these word problems and show their working out in their books, promoting active engagement and problem-solving skills. The answers are provided to enable self-assessment and to help children understand the process of division by 8 in various contexts. This practical approach to learning helps to deepen their mathematical reasoning and problem-solving capabilities.
