Divide 20 Into Equal Groups: Model Mayhem

Model multiple ways to make 20 in this third-grade worksheet! Students must equally divide a set of 20 dots in six different ways. For each option, they will draw a model to reflect the equal groups, then write an equation to match.

Equal groups can be a helpful way for students to visualize division, as it shows exactly how a quantity can be evenly split up. This understanding will support students as they begin to tackle larger division problems and learn to use the standard algorithm. Learners may also recognize how this strategy is used in multiplication, helping to relate the two operations.
