Teacher Guide & Tips

Use this as a warm-up or independent practice after introducing the divide, multiply, subtract, bring down cycle with a whole-class demonstration.
Discussion question: Why do we check whether the divisor fits into the first digits before dividing, and what happens when it doesn't fit?
Scaffold for struggling readers: Have students copy the worked example line by line, labeling each step before attempting the practice problems on their own.
Extension for advanced students: Ask them to create their own division problem with a remainder and explain how the final step changes.
Estimated time: About 20 to 30 minutes for the worked example and practice problems together.
