How to use this worksheet
- Start with the anchors: 60 ÷ 6 = 10 (problem 2) and 30 ÷ 6 = 5 (problem 8).
- For facts in between, count on from an anchor: 36 is 30 plus one more 6, so 36 ÷ 6 = 6.
- Solve problems 1 to 10, then 11 to 20; each half contains every fact once, so each half's answers are 1 to 10.
- Check with the answer page and review the matching 6 times table facts for any error.
What this worksheet teaches
Every problem divides a multiple of 6 by 6, so the answers are whole numbers from 1 to 10 and there are no remainders. Each fact appears exactly twice. Division by 6 is one of the first divisions where many children need a strategy, because the 6 times table itself is less automatic than the 2s, 5s or 10s.
Halve, then divide by 3
Since 6 = 2 × 3, dividing by 6 can be done in two steps: halve the number, then divide by 3. For 48 ÷ 6: half of 48 is 24, and 24 ÷ 3 = 8. For 54 ÷ 6: 27, then 9. Another route uses the fives: 42 is 30 + 12, which is five 6s and two 6s, so 42 ÷ 6 = 7.
