Grade 5 Division Worksheet

Students will divide four-digit whole numbers by one-digit divisors using the bridging method, correctly identifying remainders (page 1, questions 1-12).

Students will divide four-digit whole numbers by one- and two-digit divisors using the chunking (partial-quotients) method, modeled on the worked example (page 1, questions 13-20).

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, some 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 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.

Chunking (partial-quotients) strategy for division -- students apply this method, modeled by a fully worked example, across the remaining eight problems, including two-digit divisors.

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