Long Division Worksheets Year 5 & 6 (30 Worksheets, Remainders, Tests)

Teach the formal long division layout the same way on every page: divisor on the left of the bracket, dividend under the bar, multiples subtracted underneath and every digit brought down with an arrow. Every step is computed and every long division in the answer key is read back (60 read back).

What is inside:

• Posters, and a pre-test and a post-test
• Multiples lists to write first and a step by step page
• 3-digit by 2-digit and 4-digit by 2-digit, divisors 11 to 25 first and then up to 99
• Zeros in the answer and estimating first by rounding
• Remainders written three ways: with r, as a fraction and as a decimal
• Missing numbers and digits, and checking by multiplying
• Word problems at several levels, where the remainder must be interpreted (round up or round down) and money is shared to the penny
• A sort by size of answer, task cards with a recording sheet, a tracker and a certificate

Remainders as fractions are in simplest form only where the question says so, and money answers are written to the penny, like £6.50.

Matches National Curriculum for England statements including: “divide numbers up to 4 digits by a two-digit whole number using the formal written method of long division, and interpret remainders as whole number remainders, fractions, or by rounding, as appropriate for the context” (Year 6).

Format: A4 PDF. Every page is included twice, in colour and in black and white, so you can print whichever suits your printer. An answer key is included. Dashed cut lines mark anything to cut out.
