Grade 8 Division Worksheets
Free printable division practice for Grade 8 students. Generate problems, solve them on screen or paper, and download as PDF.
What Your Child Will Learn
In Grade 8, division is applied to rational expressions, scientific notation, and algebraic problem-solving. Students divide monomials, simplify algebraic fractions, and use division in formulas involving rates, density, and slopes.
Division underpins linear relationships — slope is rise divided by run. Students also divide in scientific notation and apply division to financial literacy contexts like cost-per-unit comparisons and interest rate calculations.
Skills Covered
- Dividing monomials and algebraic expressions
- Division in scientific notation
- Calculating slope (rise ÷ run)
- Simplifying rational expressions
- Dividing rational numbers fluently
- Applying division to financial problems
Curriculum Aligned: Aligned with Strand B (Number) and Strand C (Algebra): applying division in algebraic and real-world contexts.
Parent Tip: Slope is everywhere — road grades, roof pitches, hiking trails. Ask 'how much does it rise for every metre it runs?' to connect math to the real world.

How is division connected to multiplication?
Division is the inverse of multiplication. If your child knows 6 × 4 = 24, they can figure out 24 ÷ 4 = 6. Strong multiplication fact fluency makes division much easier.
When does my child learn long division?
Long division is typically introduced in Grade 4 and refined through Grade 5-6. Start with single-digit divisors, then progress to two-digit divisors. Understanding place value is key.
How should my child handle remainders in division?
Remainders appear in Grade 4. Teach your child to express remainders as a whole number (R2), a fraction (2/5), or a decimal (0.4) depending on the context of the problem.
