    How to use this worksheet

    • Mark the two anchors first: 35 ÷ 7 = 5 (problem 1) and 70 ÷ 7 = 10 (problem 7).
    • Work out the neighbors of each anchor: 42 is 35 + 7, so 42 ÷ 7 = 6; 63 is 70 − 7, so 63 ÷ 7 = 9.
    • Solve all twenty problems in order; problems 1 to 10 and 11 to 20 each contain every fact once.
    • Check with the answer page and say each matching multiplication, such as 7 × 8 = 56.

    What this worksheet teaches

    Every problem divides a multiple of 7 by 7, so all answers are whole numbers from 1 to 10 with no remainders, and each fact appears twice. Because 7s have no easy digit pattern, this page trains children to reach an unknown fact from a known one, a strategy that makes all of division more reliable.

    Build from 35 and 70

    Two division facts with 7 are easy to hold: 35 ÷ 7 = 5 and 70 ÷ 7 = 10. From 35, add or take away 7s: 28 is one 7 less (4), 42 one more (6), 49 two more (7). From 70, take away 7s: 63 is 9 and 56 is 8. With these two starting points, no fact on the page is more than two steps away.

    Questions and answers

    Questions from parents

    Why is dividing by 7 harder than dividing by 5?
    Multiples of 5 end in 5 or 0, while multiples of 7 have no ending pattern, so children must rely on facts or strategies.
    Which problems on this dividing by 7 sheet should we practice most?
    42, 49, 56 and 63 divided by 7, since they match 7 × 6 to 7 × 9, the facts that take longest to remember.
    How long should this sheet take?
    There is no set time. Accuracy comes first; speed follows once the facts are remembered rather than worked out.
