About this worksheet

This Year 6 long division sheet gives pupils a frame for every step. Page 1 works through 384 ÷ 12 in eight labelled steps, from divide to check, with the multiples of 12 and a reminder box on remainders. Page 2 has six three-digit divisions by 12 or 15 in frames, and the first two are already started. Page 3 has four four-digit divisions: 3456 ÷ 12 and three word problems about pencils, juice and seedlings. The answer page shows each subtraction. It is the support version of long division for the England National Curriculum in Year 6.

Curriculum objectives covered

Number - addition, subtraction, multiplication and division

“Divide numbers up to 4 digits by a two-digit whole number using the formal written method of long division, and interpret remainders as whole number remainders, fractions, or by rounding, as appropriate for the context”

Questions 1 to 10 use long division, and questions 8, 9 and 10 need a whole remainder, a fraction and a rounded-up answer in turn.

Number - addition, subtraction, multiplication and division

“Solve problems involving addition, subtraction, multiplication and division”

The pencils, juice and seedlings questions on page 3 set each division in a real context.

What's inside this worksheet

Follow a worked example

384 ÷ 12 in eight labelled steps, then the multiples of 12 up to 120 and a box on what to do with remainders.

Three-digit divisions

Six frames, from 456 ÷ 12 to 842 ÷ 15. Questions 1 and 2 show the first subtraction, and each frame has spaces for the answer and remainder.

Four-digit divisions

Pupils calculate 3456 ÷ 12, pack 4879 pencils into 15s, share 2565 ml between 12 jugs as a mixed number, and find the fewest trays for 3286 seedlings.

Answers

Each answer lists every subtraction step. The seedling answer explains why 219 remainder 1 becomes 220 trays.

How teachers use it

Say the steps

Read the eight steps for 384 ÷ 12 aloud together. Pupils repeat divide, multiply, subtract, bring down before they open page 2.

Watch the started frames

Walk round during questions 1 and 2. A pupil who stalls at 96 ÷ 12 needs the multiples list, not more questions.

Remainder debate

After page 3, ask why the pencils leave 4 over but the seedlings need 220 trays. The reminder box on page 1 gives the rule to point back to.
