Are You Looking for Long Division Worksheets?

After students have practiced how to divide with single-digit divisors, double-digit and multi-digit divisors are then introduced. Students may learn to tackle long division problems with different strategies. Not only do they learn how to solve problems with the standard algorithm, but they also learn how to use box/area models, partial quotients, or the grid method. Teacher Starter has a worksheet you can use with your students when practicing this important math skill.

With this worksheet, students will solve 16 long division problems. Since this is a math worksheet for 5th and 6th-grade students, you will find that the problems involve 4 and 5-digit dividends and 2 and 3-digit divisors. Ample space has been provided so students can have enough room to solve each problem.

An answer key is included with your download to make grading fast and easy!

Tips for Differentiation + Scaffolding 

In addition to independent student work time, use this worksheet as an activity for:

• Guided math groups
• Lesson warm-up
• Lesson wrap-up
• Fast finishers
• Homework assignment
• Whole-class review (via smartboard)

For students who need an additional challenge, encourage them to list their answers from least to greatest on a separate sheet of paper.

For students who need additional support, encourage them to create vertical skip counting lines with the divisor on the side of their paper when solving each problem. Additionally, provide a multiplication chart for students who need support with basic facts.
