How to use this worksheet
- Show problem 1, 16 ÷ 4, with sixteen small objects: halve them into two piles of 8, then halve one pile again: 4.
- Solve problems 1 to 10, which contain each fact once, then problems 11 to 20, which contain each fact again.
- If a problem feels hard, write the two halving steps next to it, such as 36, 18, 9.
- Check with the answer page; in each half, the answers should be the numbers 1 to 10, each once.
What this worksheet teaches
Every problem divides a multiple of 4, from 4 to 40, by 4, so all answers are whole numbers from 1 to 10 and there are no remainders. Each fact appears exactly twice. Children practice linking division to the 4 times table and learn a strategy that turns a new fact into two easy steps.
Halve twice
Dividing by 4 is the same as halving twice, because 4 = 2 × 2. For 36 ÷ 4: half of 36 is 18, half of 18 is 9. For 28 ÷ 4: 14, then 7. For 40 ÷ 4: 20, then 10. This works for every problem on the page, since all the numbers are even and their halves are even too.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Why do problems 1 and 20 on this dividing by 4 sheet match?
Each half of the page is shuffled on its own, and this time 16 ÷ 4 landed at both ends.
My child knows 4 × 9 = 36 but not 36 ÷ 4. How do I connect them?
Ask "4 times what is 36?" Division by 4 is looking for the missing factor.
Is halving twice slower than remembering?
At first it is a safe route; as the facts become familiar, children stop needing it.
