Mathematics
This Grade 3 mathematics worksheet develops division as equal sharing through 17 fill-in-the-blank questions. Students determine how many objects belong in each equal group, solve basic division facts such as 14 ÷ 7 and 20 ÷ 5, and identify a missing divisor in equations such as 24 ÷ __ = 3. The worksheet also applies division to short real-world situations involving money and converting feet to yards. Use this free printable worksheet to give students focused practice connecting equal groups, division equations, and quotients. Its fill-in format requires students to produce each answer rather than select one, making it useful for independent practice, guided review, or a quick check of division fluency. A complete answer key is included for efficient checking and feedback.

Answer KeyThis Grade 3 worksheet uses 17 fill-in-the-blank items to practise division as equal sharing. Students find the number in each group, solve division facts, determine a missing divisor in equations such as 24 ÷ __ = 3, and apply division to money and feet-to-yards word problems.
Begin with the counter model in the first item, asking students to split 10 counters into 2 equal groups and connect the result to 10 ÷ 2 = 5. Then have students represent a few equations with equal groups before completing the fill-in items, pausing to discuss how the unknown changes when the blank is the divisor rather than the quotient. Finish by asking students to explain what each answer means in the hamster-wheel and fabric problems.
Watch for students giving the quotient when the blank asks for the divisor, especially in 24 ÷ __ = 3; they should identify 8 because 8 groups of 3, or 24 divided by 8, gives 3. In the word problems, students may also report a number without the requested unit or overlook the given rate of 1 yard = 3 feet when converting 18 feet to yards.
The worksheet is available as a printable PDF and as a digital quiz on Wayground, and it includes a complete answer key for all 17 fill-in-the-blank items. Printable submissions can be graded by scanning student work with the Wayground for Teachers app, while the digital version can be assigned for online completion and review.
In the worksheet’s Advanced Settings, adjust font spacing or choose a larger font size to make the fill-in-the-blank equations and word problems easier to read. You can also enable a dyslexia-friendly font or translate the worksheet into another language, depending on students’ needs.
