What a question looks like
Answer: 58
- The first digit 4 is smaller than 7; combine it with the next digit.
- Bring down 0 to make 40: 7 goes into 40 5 times; write 5, subtract 35, and carry 5.
- Bring down 6 to make 56: 7 goes into 56 8 times; write 8, subtract 56, and carry 0.
- 7 × 58 = 406.
- There is no remainder.
Show every stage of the written method
These are multi-step long-division problems with at least three-digit dividends, separate from short division facts. Choose whether to include remainders, then ask the learner to divide, multiply, subtract, and bring down at each stage. The worked key traces the same steps.
Before accepting an answer, multiply the quotient by the divisor and add any remainder. The result should equal the dividend, and a remainder must be smaller than the divisor. This reverse check catches missed zeros and bring-down errors.
Use this practice well
Ask learners to write each multiply, subtract, and bring-down step. After solving, multiply the quotient by the divisor and add any remainder to verify the original dividend.
What this develops
Create focused long division practice with a worked answer key.
A mistake to watch for
Skipping a zero in the quotient shifts later digits and changes the answer.
Ways to use it
- Practise the written algorithm.
- Compare a worked example with a learner solution.
- Assign a fresh version for reassessment.
Scope and limits
The sheet checks calculations, not the full range of division word problems.
