Worksheet Preview
Dividing by 4 is halving twice
Dividing by 4 builds on dividing by 2: just halve, then halve again. So 28 / 4 is half of 28 (14) halved once more (7). It’s also the inverse of the 4 times table.
How to use it
Have students halve twice, or think “4 times what?” This builds on dividing by 2 and mirrors the 4 times table. Part of the division facts set.
👩🏫 Teacher note
