About this resource

Description

Long division is the first algorithm where a fourth grader has to hold several steps in mind at once, and the fastest way through it is short, clean practice with numbers small enough to check. This dividing 1 into 2 digit worksheet gives students six problems with a one-digit divisor and a two-digit dividend, set in proper long division notation with room under each problem to show the work. Three of the six divide evenly and three leave a remainder, scattered through the set so a student cannot guess from position which is which.

The sheet is print-and-go and takes about fifteen to twenty minutes. Part A is the six problems. Part B is a word problem about a baker packing 94 muffins into trays that hold six each, with a shaded work box and two answer lines, because knowing that 94 divided by 6 is 15 with 4 left over is only half the skill. The other half is deciding that the baker still needs a sixteenth tray. Use this 4th grade division worksheet as guided practice, as a quick check before a unit test, or as homework.

What’s Included

  • Six long division problems, a one-digit divisor into a two-digit dividend
  • Three problems that divide evenly and three that leave a remainder
  • Space under every problem to show the work
  • A multi-step word problem with a work box and two answer lines
  • A complete answer key on the final page

Three Reasons This Helps Kids

  • Two-digit dividends keep the algorithm short, so students practice the steps instead of getting lost in the arithmetic.
  • Mixing exact answers with remainders stops students from assuming every problem comes out even.
  • The word problem asks what the remainder means in the real situation, which is the part standardized tests actually check.

Teacher and Parent Ideas

  • Have students check each quotient by multiplying it back and adding the remainder.
  • Ask students to skip count by the divisor out loud before they start a problem.
  • Change the number of muffins per tray and have students rework the word problem.
  • Follow this dividing 1 into 2 digit worksheet with a three-digit dividend sheet once the steps are automatic.
