Long Division Check-In for Fourth Grade
A short four-question division check-in for 4th graders that covers a two-digit by one-digit, a two three-digit by one-digit, and a four-digit by one-digit problem, all with no remainders. It builds accurate long division procedures and fluency with the divide, multiply, subtract, and bring-down steps, and it is well suited to a quick formative check at the end of a division unit.
“Give me a four question division check in for fourth graders. Include a two digit/one digit, two three digits/one digit, four digit/one digit. No remainders”
Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use this as a 10 to 15 minute independent check after students have practiced long division with the steps (divide, multiply, subtract, bring down).
- Discussion question: Why do we write the 0 when the divisor goes into the digit zero times, as in the 432 divided by 4 example?
- Scaffold for struggling readers: Let students work through the first problem alongside the worked 3-digit example, and have them say each step aloud before writing it.
- Extension for advanced students: Ask them to check each answer by multiplying the quotient by the divisor, and to create their own four-digit by one-digit problem with no remainder.
- Estimated time: About 15 minutes to complete, plus a few minutes to review answers as a class.
