Dividing by 6, using the 6s
Dividing by 6 is the inverse of the 6 times table: 42 / 6 asks “6 times what equals 42?” The middle facts (42 / 6, 48 / 6) are the trickiest and deserve extra reps.
How to use it
Prompt “6 times what?” for each problem and pair it with the 6 times table to build fact families. Part of the division facts set.
👩🏫 Teacher note
