Problem Slips: Division Working Charts
Made by Nienhuis Montessori · shipped by Heutink International (Netherlands) About the maker
Designed for ages 3-6, these Division Working Chart Problem Slips provide systematic practice for children mastering division facts through hands-on manipulation. The clear acrylic storage containers with blue division symbols organize problem cards for sequential work, supporting the child's move from concrete division operations to abstract mathematical understanding. Each set of cards corresponds to specific division tables, empowering children to work independently while building computational fluency.
“Children display a universal love of mathematics, which is par excellence the science of precision, order, and intelligence.”
Division Working Chart Problem Slips transform abstract numerical relationships into tangible mathematical experiences through systematic card manipulation.
- Masters division facts from 1÷1 through 81÷9 through repeated practice
- Develops systematic approach to mathematical problem-solving
- Builds connection between concrete manipulation and abstract symbols
- Strengthens memory of division relationships through kinesthetic engagement

Each problem card presents a specific division equation that corresponds directly to the Division Working Charts, creating a bridge between concrete bead work and written computation. The clear acrylic containers with blue division symbols provide visual organization that mirrors the mathematical order inherent in division facts. These problem slips address the developmental need for repetitive practice in a format that maintains engagement, children select cards independently, work through solutions using the charts, and verify their understanding through self-correction. The sequential arrangement of division problems from simple to complex respects the child's mathematical progression, while the physical act of selecting and returning cards satisfies the need for purposeful movement. By isolating each division fact on individual slips, the material allows focused attention on one mathematical relationship at a time, building the foundation for memorization through understanding rather than rote learning.
How to present it
Follow the Montessori method of presentation for optimal child development.
Place the Division Working Charts on the table with the corresponding acrylic container of problem slips. Ensure the child has completed preliminary work with golden beads and understands division concepts concretely.
- 1
Select one problem slip from the container, reading the equation aloud: '24 divided by 3'
Begin with smaller dividends to build confidence - 2
Place the problem slip at the top of the working chart as a reference
This keeps the equation visible throughout the work - 3
Use the Division Working Chart to find the answer by locating the dividend and divisor intersection
Trace with finger from divisor across and dividend down to find quotient - 4
Record the complete equation with answer on paper: 24÷3=8
Writing reinforces the mathematical relationship - 5
Return the problem slip to its designated section in the container
Maintaining order teaches organizational skills - 6
Continue with additional slips, working systematically through one divisor at a time
Complete all problems for divisor 2 before moving to 3
