About this resource

Description

Long division is one of the biggest steps a fourth grader takes in math, because a single problem asks a student to use place value, multiplication facts, and subtraction all at the same time. This dividing 1 into 3 digit worksheet gives students a clean, uncrowded page for dividing a three digit number by a one digit divisor. Every problem on this dividing 1 into 3 digit worksheet divides evenly, so students can concentrate on the steps of the algorithm instead of wrestling with remainders.

Using this worksheet, students solve six long division problems laid out in a wide grid with real room to show each step underneath the dividend. They then move on to two word problems that put division into a real setting: one asks how many cans of food belong on each pantry shelf, and the other asks students to check another student’s quotient with multiplication and explain how they know. This 4th grade division worksheet works well as morning work, as guided practice after a mini lesson, or as a quick check before a unit test.

What’s Included

  • Six long division problems with three digit dividends and one digit divisors
  • Two application word problems, including a check-the-work item
  • Generous work space under every problem
  • A complete answer key on the final page
  • A print ready PDF sized for standard letter paper

Three Reasons This Helps Kids

First, the problems all divide evenly, so a student who is still shaky on the algorithm gets a clear signal when a step goes wrong. Second, the wide spacing under each problem invites students to write out every multiply-and-subtract step rather than trying to hold the numbers in their heads. Third, the check-the-work item builds the habit of using multiplication to verify a quotient, which is the single fastest way for a fourth grader to catch a division mistake on their own.

Ideas for Teachers and Parents

Model problem one on the board, thinking aloud through each step, then let students finish the row on their own. Pair students and have them trade papers to check each other’s quotients with multiplication before you collect the page. At home, ask your child to explain the check-the-work problem out loud; explaining why 121 is wrong teaches more than solving ten more problems. Keep the answer key page for a fast small group review the next day.
