- 3-minute challenge: up to 144 ÷ 12 · grades 4 and 5
Which test for which grade?
- Grade 3 (class 3): start with dividing by 2, 5 and 10, then 3 and 4, then 6 to 9. By the end of the year, children should divide within 100 fluently (3.OA.C.7).
- Grade 4 (class 4): 1- and 2-minute tests within 100, so facts are quick enough for long division.
- Grade 5 and up: the 3-minute challenge up to 144 ÷ 12 keeps facts sharp for 2-digit divisors and fractions.
What is a good score?
Three seconds a fact is 20 facts a minute, so 20 is the score that tells you the facts are remembered rather than counted. Use this as a rough guide for a 1-minute test on facts your child has already practiced:
| Correct in 1 minute | What it usually means | What to do next |
|---|---|---|
| Under 10 | Most facts are still worked out by skip counting. | Untimed practice on a smaller set, using “think multiplication”. |
| 10 to 19 | Many facts are known; some are still worked out. | Practice the yellow and red facts from the fact map, then test again. |
| 20 to 29 | Fluent: about 3 seconds or less per fact. | Move to the next set, such as 6 to 9 or all facts within 100. |
| 30 or more | Very quick recall. | Try the 144 ÷ 12 challenge and long division. |
Typing on a phone or tablet takes time, so compare your child with their own earlier scores, not with other children. Accuracy also matters: 15 right out of 16 shows more progress than 20 right out of 30.
How the speed test works
- Pick the facts and the test length. One minute is enough for most children.
- Tap Start the clock. A fact appears; type the answer or tap the number pad, then OK.
- Keep going until time runs out. A wrong answer shows the right one for a moment, then the next fact appears.
- See the result. The score, how many were right, the facts to practice and a fact map. Your best score for each test is saved on this device.
How to get faster
- Use multiplication. Children who know 6 × 7 = 42 can answer 42 ÷ 6 and 42 ÷ 7 straight away. Practice them together.
- Practice slowly first. Use the untimed division practice on the facts the fact map shows in red.
- One test a day. A single 1-minute test daily beats five tests on a Sunday.
- Beat your own score. Write the score on a chart; one more than yesterday is a win.
Keep timed tests positive
Some children love racing the clock; others freeze. Make the speed test a personal challenge, not a grade: “Can you beat 14 today?” If your child is anxious or making lots of mistakes, switch back to untimed practice for a week. Speed follows once the facts are remembered.

Questions parents ask
What is a good score on a 1-minute division test?
About 20 correct answers in one minute means your child answers each fact in roughly 3 seconds, the usual sign that the facts are memorised. Division scores are often a little lower than multiplication scores at first, and that is normal.
How do I test my child's division facts?
Use the speed test at the top of this page. Pick the facts they have learned, such as dividing by 2, 5 and 10, choose 1 minute and tap Start. The results show how many were right, the facts that were missed and a fact map of quick and slow facts.
Are timed division tests bad for children?
They can cause stress when used as a grade or a race against classmates. As a short personal challenge, after the facts have been practiced without a timer, most children enjoy beating their own best score. Stop if your child gets upset.
How can my child get faster at division facts?
Learn the matching times table first, then practice “think multiplication”: 42 ÷ 6 is 6 times what makes 42? Practice missed facts without a timer, then do one 1-minute test a day and try to beat yesterday’s score.
What is a mad minute division test?
A mad minute is a classroom drill where children answer as many facts as they can in one minute. This page is an online mad minute for division: it marks every answer, shows the right answer for mistakes and saves a personal best.
