Dividing Decimals using the Standard Algorithm resource comes with 16 sets of worksheets that will give you lots of freedom to set the level of work, whether your students need a gentle start with fewer digits and a specific 1-digit multiplier or at the right time present them with the challenge of dividing 5-digit decimal numbers by a mix of decimal numbers, or any of the fourteen levels in between. 

The first two sets provide practice with units to 2dp and tens to 1dp divided by 1-digit whole numbers. You can choose to print a worksheet with one specific number or a mix.

The following six sets provide worksheets dividing 4-digit decimal numbers then 5-digit decimal numbers by 1-digit whole numbers, again with a choice of printing a worksheet with one specific number or a mix.

Sets 9 to 11 gives you a choice of dividends: Thousands to 1dp, Hundreds to 2 dp or Units to 4dp divided by multiples of 10.

Sets 12 to 14 has the same choice of dividends as with Sets 9 to 11 but with 2-digit whole number divisors.

Sets 15 and 16 have 4 & 5-digit decimal dividends, but now as an extra challenge the divisors are also decimal numbers, so there is the additional step of changing the divisor to a whole number and adjusting the dividend accordingly.
