Math Rockets Division

1. Read each division problem.
2. Think of the multiplication fact that goes with it.
3. Tap the rocket that carries the correct quotient.
4. Finish ten problems to complete a level; there are eight levels.

Math Rockets Division turns division practice into a rocket launch. Each problem appears with several rockets carrying possible answers, and you tap the one with the correct quotient. Every level has ten problems and there are eight levels in all, so there's plenty of practice without any single session dragging on. Using multiplication facts to check an answer — if 7 × 6 is 42, then 42 ÷ 6 is 7 — is the fastest route to the right rocket. It's aimed at young learners and plays with a mouse or touchpad.

Division is multiplication run backwards: 42 ÷ 6 asks what number times 6 makes 42. The US Common Core standards describe this as understanding division as an unknown-factor problem (3.OA.B.6) and expect fluency with division within 100 by the end of grade 3 (3.OA.C.7). Fact families help: 6 × 7 = 42, 7 × 6 = 42, 42 ÷ 6 = 7 and 42 ÷ 7 = 6 all come from the same three numbers. If a division fact is slow, practise its multiplication fact first.
