Division as Equal Groups & Sharing - Part A: Make equal groups and then write a division equation for each problem and solve

Sep 23, 2026

Worksheets focused on division using equal groups and fair sharing. Part A has students create equal groups for given quantities (cookies, donuts, peaches, gems, fish, tennis balls) and write a matching division equation to solve. Part B uses sharing contexts like trading cards, markers, apples in baskets, and beads for bracelets, asking for equal distribution. Part C adds challenge problems with division equations and related multiplication facts, providing an answer key.

Part C – Challenge Problems

Answer Key

Name: _________________________________________ Division as Equal Groups & Sharing Part A: Make equal groups and then write a division equation for each problem and solve. | Example: There are 6 apples. Make groups of 2. | | --- | |
6 ÷ 2 = 3 | 1.) There are 12 cookies. Make groups of 4. ÷ = 2.) There are 8 donuts. Make groups of 2. ÷ = 3.) There are 15 peaches. Make groups of 5. ÷ = 4.) There are 16 gems. Make groups of 4. ÷ = 5.) There are 18 fish. Make groups of 3. ÷ = 6.) There are 20 tennis balls. Make groups of 4. ÷ = 1 Mashup Math LLC | Al[l Rights Reserved | Get More K-12 Math Worksheets at ](l Rights Reserved | Get More K-12 Math Worksheets at www.mashupmath.com)[www.mashupmath.com](l Rights Reserved | Get More K-12 Math Worksheets at www.mashupmath.com) Part B: Sharing (Fair Share) Read each problem.
