Division Word Problems With 1 Digit Divisors

Written by Adi Ackerman, Head Teacher

"Division Word Problems With 1 Digit Divisors" is written for 5th Grade (Ages 10-11), and it covers Common Core 5.NBT.B.6. If your little one is a year younger but already steady on multiplication & division, the page still works. You may just need to read the instructions out loud. And if they are older and long division (no remainder) never quite stuck, this is a short review rather than busywork.

How do I use this worksheet?

Before handing out the worksheet, briefly introduce the concept with a short oral warm-up or a visual model on the board. Let students work through it independently and self-check their own work against an answer key before you review it as a class, encouraging them to talk through their thinking: "What strategy are you using? How do you know that is right?" After completing the worksheet, review any missed problems together and discuss the reasoning rather than just the answer. For extra support, let students use manipulatives or draw pictures alongside the written problems. These long division (no remainder) worksheets work well as daily practice, homework, or a focused review activity.

What students will practice

What does this worksheet teach?

⌄

Solve 3 long division word problems about 1,848 rolls, 2,512 pencils and 3,465 apples. Divide to find the size of each group or the number of groups. In long division, divide, multiply, subtract and bring down, step by step. The directions on the page read: Read each problem. Solve it with long division in the work box. Then, write the answer in the answer box. An answer key is included.

Can I use this long division (no remainder) worksheet for homeschool or classroom?

⌄

Yes, both. We made it for 5th Grade multiplication & division, and the page works the same whether it lands on a kitchen table or a center rotation. At home, most families go through it together and talk the answers out loud, and that talking is where most of the learning happens with long division (no remainder). In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.

What are the steps of long division?

⌄

Divide, multiply, subtract and bring down the next digit, then repeat until every digit is used. For 3,552 ÷ 6, 6 goes into 35 five times, 35 minus 30 leaves 5, and bringing down the 5 makes 55.

When do you write a 0 in the quotient?

⌄

When the divisor does not go into the part you are dividing. In 8,416 ÷ 8, 8 goes into 8 once but not into 4, so write 0, bring down the 1 to make 41 and keep going to get 1,052.

Is there an answer key?

⌄

Yes. All 4 sheets have an answer key.
