Divide Using Arrays: Sea Creatures Around the Room

Go on a division expedition in this fun ocean-themed practice! For this engaging activity, an adult will first need to cut out the array cards on the second page and place them throughout the room. As students move around the room and find each card, they must solve the matching division equation on the worksheet. At the end, learners will use their answers to solve a riddle!

Arrays are a helpful way for young mathematicians to visualize division, as each row and column represent equal parts of a whole number. This activity can also be beneficial to third graders who are building fact fluency with divisors up to 10.
