Free Division Word Problems and Solutions

Thinking Blocks' Spoken Tutorials

Your child can gain a better understanding of division word problems by watching step-by-step animated tutorials from ThinkingBlocks.com. A sweet-toned voice talks listeners through each step toward solving the word problems making the site easier to navigate. Two models of division problems are presented - partitive (how many shares you're partitioning out) and measurement (how many groups you have when you repeatedly subtract a given number). Once your child has mastered basic 1-step problems, he or she can find the remainder in long division equations and other more advanced problems. This site also has multiplication word problems, so it may be helpful for more than one unit from your child's textbook.
