How to Use This Pack

One page to give on the first day of the unit on dividing multi-digit numbers, before any teaching. Its six questions are on the skills the unit builds on: the division facts, a missing factor (dividing is finding one), subtracting (every step of long division subtracts), multiplying by hundreds and thousands and by a 1-digit number (to divide big numbers and to check a quotient), and a sharing story. It has a Score line, and the key names the lesson each question leads into. The unit review and the unit test are packs of their own.

In the Classroom

Give the pre-check on the first day and sort the class by what they missed: a student who is slow on the division facts needs fact practice beside the unit, and one who trips on subtracting with regrouping needs that before long division. Nothing on the page asks for multi-digit dividing yet, so a low score is no surprise; it shows where to start.

At Home

Use it to see what your child needs before the unit starts: practice the division facts a few minutes a day, and turn each into a multiplication (56 ÷ 8 = 7 because 7 × 8 = 56).

Tips for Success

  • Give it before the first lesson, not after
  • Read the score as a starting point, not a grade
  • Pair each division fact with its multiplication fact
  • The key names the lesson each question leads into

Common Core Standards Alignment

This pack supports the following Common Core State Standards for Mathematics:

  • 3.OA.A.2 Understand a quotient as either the size of each equal share or the number of equal groups, such as 24 ÷ 6.
  • 3.OA.A.4 Solve for the missing number in multiplying or dividing equations, such as 7 × ? = 42 or ? ÷ 3 = 6.
  • 3.OA.C.7 Multiply and divide to 100 fluently with strategies, and by year's end instantly recall every product of two single-digit numbers.
  • 3.NBT.A.2 Add and subtract to 1,000 fluently using place-value strategies and written methods, properties of addition, and fact-family relationships.
  • 3.NBT.A.3 Multiply a single-digit number by a multiple of ten from 10 to 90, such as 4 × 70, using place value and properties.
  • 4.NBT.B.5 Multiply numbers up to 9,999 by one-digit numbers, and two-digit by two-digit numbers, with place-value strategies shown in equations, arrays or area models.

4th Grade Division Pre-Check

A check to give before the unit on dividing multi-digit numbers, on the skills it builds on. Students answer division facts, find missing factors, subtract 3-digit numbers, multiply by tens and hundreds and by a 1-digit number, and solve a sharing story.
