How it works
These division arrays worksheets draw every problem as equal rows of dots. The page opens on six arrays of up to 50 dots: count the rows, then write how many dots are in each. Other sheets go to 100.

How an array shows a division
24 dots in 4 equal rows have 6 dots in each row, so 24 ÷ 4 = 6. Read down the columns and the same array shows 24 ÷ 6 = 4. One array, two divisions: by rows and by columns asks for both. Common Core 3.OA.3 lists arrays among the situations third graders divide in, within 100.
From the picture to the fact
Divide, then check by multiplying adds the multiplication under each division, 4 × 6 = 24. When that is easy, hide a number: How many rows? The divisor is missing prints only the total and the dots in a row.
- Have pupils ring one row before they count, so that rows and columns do not get mixed up.
- Texas 3.5(B) names arrays for problems within 100. Larger arrays: dividends to 100 has rows of up to 12 dots.
Questions and answers
What is a division using arrays worksheet?
A sheet where each division is drawn as an array, equal rows of dots. The total is the dividend, the number of rows is the divisor, and the number of dots in one row is the quotient.
How do you divide with an array?
Count all the dots, count the rows, then count the dots in one row. For 18 dots in 3 rows there are 6 in each row, so 18 ÷ 3 = 6. No dots are left over on these sheets.
What grade uses arrays for division?
Third grade. Common Core has grade 3 divide within 100 in situations with equal groups and arrays, and Texas asks the same grade to solve division problems within 100 using arrays.
Is there an answer key?
Yes. The key prints as the last page with each line filled in under its array. To print the arrays alone, untick Answer key before you press Print.
