Christmas division worksheets Grade 3

Make division click this December. These Christmas division worksheets take Grade 3 students from the meaning of division to fluent facts within 100. Students share equally, make equal groups, read drawn arrays, use repeated subtraction, connect multiplication and division with fact families, find unknown numbers and solve one- and two-step holiday word problems. The theme is a secular winter holiday: ornaments, mittens, gingerbread, cocoa, sleds and snowflakes. All 90 answers were calculated in code and back-checked by multiplication.
