Teaching notes for dividing by 4
Halve it twice. If both halves land on whole numbers, it divides by 4. That check tells a child whether a number belongs on this sheet at all, which is a different skill from recalling the quotient. Double, then double again. 4 × 7 is 7 doubled to 14, doubled again to 28. Two easy steps beat one hard fact.
How to use this sheet
- 1. Solve the problem printed inside each region of the picture.
- 2. Find that answer in the color key at the top of the sheet.
- 3. Color the region with the crayon next to it. Each swatch also carries a letter code, so the sheet still works printed in black and white.
The picture only comes out right if the facts were answered right, which is the point: a guessed answer shows up as a wrong color instead of disappearing into a page of ticks.
After the dividing by 4 sheet
A coloring sheet is deliberate, slow practice — good for a first pass and for the facts that are still shaky. Recall speed comes from short repeated retrieval, so pair it with a few minutes of online practice rather than another sheet.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Every fact on this sheet is that table asked backwards, so a child who is still counting up to 4 × 7 will find the division slow too. The 2s, held firmly. Double-double falls apart if the first double is slow. Halve it twice. If both halves land on whole numbers, it divides by 4.
Each region of the picture shows one dividing by 4 problem. Solve it, find that answer in the color key at the top of the sheet, and color the region with the crayon next to it. A finished picture only looks right if every fact was answered correctly.
