About this worksheet
What did the zero say to the eight? Two cartoon numbers ask the question, and the answer is hidden in a code at the bottom of the page. Children solve eight four-digit division problems, each tied to a letter, then write the letters above the matching answers to spell out the punchline.
A riddle is a built-in answer key: a wrong quotient will not appear in the code, so a child knows to go back. One letter is a decoy and is not used, which stops anyone from filling in the last blank by elimination. It is a good Friday sheet or a reward after a harder page.
