Grade 5 Division Worksheet

Divide multi-digit whole numbers by one- and two-digit divisors

Use partial quotients to organize division

Check a quotient and remainder using multiplication

Walk through the worked chunking example (5620 ÷ 15) as a class before assigning questions 13-20, since the worksheet places it directly above those problems as a scaffold.

Use questions 1-12 (bridging, one-digit divisors) as a warm-up before questions 13-20 (chunking, two-digit divisors), since the two-digit divisors raise the difficulty.

Have students self-check with the answer key on page 2 immediately after finishing, since every quotient and remainder is already worked out.

Long division with three- and four-digit dividends — students solve twenty problems dividing numbers up to 9,142 by divisors from 2 to 51.

Bridging strategy for division — students apply this specific place-value-based method across the first twelve problems.

Remainder interpretation — students identify and record remainders where the division does not come out evenly, as flagged in the instructions.
