Worksheet Preview
Dividing by 10 is place value
Dividing a multiple of 10 by 10 is the easiest division fact: take off the zero, because each ten becomes one. So 70 / 10 = 7. Teaching it as place value (not just “drop a zero”) sets up dividing by 100 later.
How to use it
Have students remove the zero while understanding why it works. This mirrors the 10 times table and pairs with dividing by 5. Part of the division facts set.
👩🏫 Teacher note
Dividing a multiple of 10 by 10 removes the zero in the ones place because each ten becomes one. Frame it as place value so it transfers to dividing by 100.
🏠 Parent note
To divide a 'tens' number by 10, take off the zero: 70 / 10 = 7.
Common Mistakes to Watch For
- Removing a zero from the wrong place
- Confusing the dividend and quotient
