How to use this worksheet
- Try problem 2, 64 ÷ 8, by halving three times: 64, 32, 16, 8. The answer is 8.
- Solve problems 1 to 10, which contain every fact once, then problems 11 to 20, which contain every fact again.
- Write the halving chain next to any problem that does not come to mind at once.
- Check with the answer page; in each half, the answers are the numbers 1 to 10 in a new order.
What this worksheet teaches
Every problem divides a multiple of 8, from 8 to 80, by 8, so all answers are whole numbers from 1 to 10 and there are no remainders. Each fact appears exactly twice. Dividing by 8 connects to three tables at once, the 2s, 4s and 8s, and practicing it strengthens children's sense of how numbers break into equal parts.
Halve three times
Because 8 = 2 × 2 × 2, dividing by 8 is the same as halving three times. For 72 ÷ 8: 36, 18, 9. For 56 ÷ 8: 28, 14, 7. For 40 ÷ 8: 20, 10, 5. Each step is an easy half, so even the largest numbers on this page can be divided without a memorized fact.
