In a series of worksheets titled "Division to Solve Problems," students are tasked with applying their knowledge of division to solve word problems that involve decimals up to two places. They are encouraged to use place value counters and to exchange where necessary to demonstrate their understanding. The worksheets cater to various levels of proficiency, with activities ranging from one-step to multi-step word problems. The resources provided include differentiated sheets and teaching slides to aid in the learning process. Key vocabulary such as 'division,' 'decimal places,' 'bar model,' and 'exchange' are highlighted to support students in their calculations and reasoning.

The worksheets present real-world scenarios, such as calculating average speeds, comparing prices in different shops, and dividing money among a group of people, to make the mathematical concepts relatable and practical. For example, one problem asks students to determine the better deal between two shops selling crayons at different quantities and prices. Another scenario involves Mrs. Hamilton sharing a sum of money among her grandchildren, requiring the division of a total amount by a specific number of recipients. These exercises not only reinforce division skills but also encourage students to reason and problem-solve. Additionally, the worksheets include answers to aid teachers in assessing student understanding and providing feedback.
