Set 1. Prints on its own sheet.
It practices division as fair sharing, small divisors — 12 questions for Grade 3, all on Common Core 3.OA.A.2: Understand division as sharing equally or making equal groups. The instruction to students is “Work out each answer”, and the answer key follows on the next sheet.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.OA.A.2 — 3.OA.A.2, under Operations & Algebraic Thinking for Grade 3. The published standard reads: “Interpret whole-number quotients of whole numbers, e.g., interpret 56 ÷ 8 as the number of objects in each share when 56 objects are partitioned equally into 8 shares.” The worksheet assesses that standard rather than a paraphrase of it.
Sharing Equally is written for Grade 3, typically ages 8-9. It is one of the sheets on 3.OA.A.2, so it suits any student working at that standard — including older students revisiting it and younger ones working ahead.
Yes. All 12 answers are generated from the same problems as the questions, so the key cannot drift out of step with the sheet. It starts on a fresh sheet of paper, after the questions, so it is not handed out with the class by accident.
25 — one per student, and all 25 ask different questions. Set 1 downloads the whole class as a single PDF. Every version is fixed to its own address, so a sheet printed today holds the same problems when you reopen it next week.
Yes. Sharing Equally, its answer key and its 25 versions are free to print and photocopy for your own class, with no account, no email capture and no subscription at the download step. Please do not resell them or republish them as your own.
