Make division practice exciting and strategic with the Treasure Island: Division Worksheet! This engaging, pirate-themed maze supports students in developing fluency and confidence with basic division facts. As they evaluate each equation and follow the correct path to the treasure, learners strengthen their mental strategies and problem-solving abilities in a fun, low-prep format.

Beginning at the start square, students solve division facts one by one, identifying which are correct and which are not. By colouring the correct equations in one colour and the incorrect in another, they create a clear visual path that leads to the treasure chest. This activity encourages accuracy, critical thinking, and fact recall in an approachable, puzzle-style format that students enjoy.

The Treasure Island: Division Worksheet is perfect for independent practice, maths warm-ups, small group rotations, or even early finisher work. With optional scaffolds, extension activities, and opportunities for creative challenges, this versatile resource turns fluency practice into an exciting mathematical adventure.
