Division Working Charts (Nienhuis)
Made by Nienhuis Montessori · shipped by Heutink International (Netherlands) About the maker
Two working charts, one control chart and a box of wooden answer chips for practising the division combinations. The design has a quiet trick in it: the first working chart later becomes the control chart, so the material tightens as the child improves rather than staying at one level. Placing a chip rather than writing an answer keeps the work reversible, which is what lets a child try, check and try again without the page filling up with crossings out. Laminated cardstock with wood, for ages 3 to 6.
“The child is both a hope and a promise for mankind.”
The Division Working Charts transform abstract division concepts into tangible experiences through systematic tile placement on structured grids. Each chart presents division facts in an organized format that reveals mathematical patterns through visual and tactile exploration.
- Masters division facts for divisors 1-9 through systematic practice
- Discovers mathematical patterns and relationships between numbers
- Develops fluency in division through repetitive tile placement
- Builds visual memory of division facts through grid organization

When children place number tiles to complete division equations on these charts, they physically construct their understanding of how numbers separate into equal groups. The grid structure of the Division Working Charts creates a visual map of division relationships, allowing children to discover that 12 ÷ 3 = 4 by seeing and touching the result. This methodical approach to division facts builds mathematical confidence through repeated successful experiences with concrete materials. The charts' comprehensive coverage of divisors 1-9 provides complete practice while maintaining the child's independence in learning. Through manipulating tiles on these structured grids, children internalize division patterns that become the foundation for more advanced mathematical thinking.
How to present it
Follow the Montessori method of presentation for optimal child development.
Place the first division chart on the work mat with the corresponding number tiles in a small basket. Ensure adequate workspace for tile sorting and chart completion.
- 1
Begin with Chart 1, showing the child how to read the division problem in the first square
Point to dividend, divisor, and where the answer tile will go - 2
Demonstrate finding the correct answer tile and placing it precisely in the designated space
Let the child feel the satisfaction of the tile fitting perfectly - 3
Continue with 2-3 more examples, then invite the child to complete the row
Step back once the child shows understanding - 4
Show how to check completed work by reading each equation aloud
This reinforces both visual and auditory learning - 5
Demonstrate returning tiles to the basket before moving to the next chart
This reset maintains order and prepares for new work
