Dividing by 8 is one of those life skills you probably wish you never have to use. Dividing a pizza into 8 slices isn't great; neither is dividing a cake into 8 pieces. But, children need to know it, and so here we go! This is the next resource in our Divide by 8 line. By now, children will hopefully have seen the PowerPoint and worked through the varied fluency task. And with that we bring the Year 3 Divide by 8 reasoning and problem-solving resource, named because that's the styles of questions included. The worksheet has been differentiated three ways and can be used in class, or for small-group interventions. The choice is yours... unlike being given a tiny slice of pizza at a pizza party.
