Dividing by 12 worksheets
Twelve is four threes, so dividing by 12 is two halvings and then a three — three small steps a child already owns. These free printable worksheets cover 12 ÷ 12 through 132 ÷ 12, a grade 3–4 step past the core grid.

What's on this sheet
Halve, halve, then divide by 3. 96 ÷ 12 goes 96 → 48 → 24, then 24 ÷ 3 = 8. Every step is easy on its own, and the route works even on the facts a child has not memorized yet.
Why this sheet works
The other split is 12 = 6 × 2, which suits a child who has just finished the sixes: divide by 6, then halve. Two different routes landing on the same answer is worth pointing out — it is the same reasoning the six times table taught, one table further along.
How this one works
One question from this sheet, worked through a step at a time.
96 ÷ 12
96÷12
12×?=96
12×8=96
96÷12=8
8×12=96
- 96 ÷ 12 means sharing 96 out equally between 12. Deal them round one at a time until they run out; the answer is how many end up in one share.
- Dealing out 96 one at a time works, and takes all day. The shortcut is the same fact read backwards: 12 shares of WHAT makes 96?
- 12 × 8 = 96. That is the one, so 96 ÷ 12 = 8.
- Worth checking, because it costs one multiplication: 8 × 12 = 96. It matches, so the answer holds.
