About this resource

This NO PREP virtually unlimited resource will provide you with many levels of differentiated worksheets for your students to practice dividing 3,4 and 5-digit dividends by 1 and 2-digit divisors with and without remainders all year round with THE STANDARD ALGORITHM. All the numbers are whole numbers.

There are 5 levels of differentiation, all having the option of worksheets with or without remainders and the choice of visual support or not


Level 1: 3-digit numbers divided by 1-digit numbers with a whole worksheet with questions with a single divisor from 2 to 9, or a page of mixed divisors 


Level 2: 4-digit numbers divided by 1-digit numbers with the same choices of divisors as above.


Level 3: 5-digit numbers divided by 1-digit numbers with the same choices of divisor as with Level 1


Level 4: 5-digit numbers number divided by a multiple of 10, from 10 to 90. 

Choose to have a worksheet with a single divisor from 20 to 90, or have a page with mixed divisors

Level 5: 5-digit numbers divided by a number from 20 to 99. 

Choose to have a worksheet with divisors from 20-29, 30-39, 40 to 49, 50 to 59 ...  to ... 90-99, or a page of mixed divisors from

Visual Support

  • Worksheets are presented with the divisor & dividend and the space ready for the quotient .... or ....

  • With the above plus the scaffolding for each step of the process, with the arrows indicating the numbers to be drawn down.

How many worksheets are in each set ?

Almost unlimited. At the click of a button all numbers are randomised, so the questions change every time.  This will allow you to create as many new worksheets you will need for practice throughout the year (classwork, homework, revision, fillers etc) or even give small groups of students in your class different sets of questions either at the same level or differentiated .

There will certainly be enough to ensure fluency in this topic. 

You could also use any of the worksheets to explain or introduce the subject to your class as you will have almost unlimited examples to work with and they will be different from the actual worksheets you hand out to your students.  


As these worksheets  need little explanation and no preparation, they are ideal if you need to leave work for a replacement teacher.

Answers can be found on the second page of every worksheet, automatically generated when you create a new worksheet. They show every step of the standard algorithm towards the solution. This for ALL Worksheets.

Note
These resources are PDF documents and work with the official  Adobe Acrobat Reader on Windows or Mac computers with the randomising buttons also working via a touchscreen (PC or Mac)or on an Interactive Whiteboard.

Students find whole-number quotients and remainders with 3-, 4- and 5-digit dividends and 1- and 2-digit divisors, using the standard algorithm.

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Divide 3-, 4- and 5-digit whole numbers by 1-digit divisors using the standard algorithm

  • Divide 5-digit whole numbers by 2-digit divisors

  • Express quotients with and without remainders

Teaching tips

  • Pressing a worksheet's randomize button before printing produces a fresh problem set, so the same level can be reused for retakes or review.

  • The checklist can record which level and divisor set each student has completed.

Skills covered

  • Long division with 1-digit divisors — working 3-, 4- and 5-digit dividends through the standard algorithm

  • Long division with 2-digit divisors — dividing by multiples of 10 and by divisors from 20 to 99

  • Remainders — solving sets with and without remainders

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

What is needed to generate new problem sets?

The randomizing buttons work in a PDF viewer that supports interactive buttons; once printed, a page keeps the numbers shown at the time of printing.
