Long Division with Two-Digit Divisors for Grade 4
By Thomas K.
A practice worksheet for 4th graders that walks through long division with two-digit divisors, using a worked example of 4,320 ÷ 40 and a DMSB (Divide, Multiply, Subtract, Bring Down) checklist to keep steps organized. Students build place-value alignment and multi-step computation skills through a set of practice problems with grid support.

Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use this as a 30- to 40-minute independent practice block after modeling the worked example together on the board.
- Discussion question: Why do we line up the digits in columns, and what happens to place value if we don't?
- Scaffold for struggling readers: have students say each DMSB step aloud and check off the checklist before moving to the next step, and provide a grid template for alignment.
- Extension for advanced students: ask them to create their own four-digit dividend and two-digit divisor problems and check each other's work using multiplication.
- Estimated time: about 5 minutes to review the worked example, then 25 to 35 minutes for the practice problems.
