Tens Code Breaker

This worksheet combines computation with an engaging puzzle activity. Students divide each number by ten, one hundred, or one thousand, then match each quotient to a letter in a code chart. When all problems are solved, the letters reveal a hidden message. This approach promotes careful solving, cross-checking, and attention to detail. The coding element boosts motivation and makes practice feel like a game rather than a drill. Students work flexibly with place-value shifts, reinforcing rules for dividing by powers of ten.
